• Lead and develop a team of 3, setting clear KPIs, fostering growth, and driving a high-performance culture.
• Monitor market trends and competitor activity to adapt strategy and stay ahead.
• Report regularly to senior leadership on sales performance, opportunities, and strategic direction.
• Drive improvements in processes, proposals, and client conversion rates through innovation and continuous development.

• Demonstrated ability to identify and develop new business opportunities to drive revenue growth.
• Exceptional ability to build and maintain strong client relationships, including high-net-worth individuals, corporate clients, and third-party hospitality agents.
