Summary

A dedicated and results-oriented sales professional with an enthusiasm for Technology and a proven track record of success spanning over 18 years. As an accomplished Senior Account Manager, I specialize in the strategic development of Cloud Infrastructure Solutions within the Federal Civilian Sector and more recently the Northeast Region for State and Local. My expertise lies in the ability to develop and manage large State and Federal IT Contracts, including BPA, IDIQ, and GSA, with a keen focus on driving profitability throughout every stage of the sales process. I excel in crafting meticulous technical requirements, leading impactful proposal efforts, and orchestrating successful capture wins.

I am proficient in leveraging collaboration tools such as Slack, Oracle OSC and SFDC to streamline team communication and enhance productivity. My understanding of the Public Sector Ecosystem, coupled with extensive experience collaborating with industry-leading organizations enables me to navigate complex landscapes with ease. Also, my proven ability to develop and execute strategies for RFP's and BPA Re-competes has resulted in business growth and unwavering client satisfaction. I am very passionate about driving innovation and delivering exceptional results and I am poised to continue making significant contributions to the success and growth of major agencies across the Federal Civilian Sector.
