As a globally experienced senior executive, I'm passionate about driving strategic business development, alliance initiatives and cross-functional collaboration to achieve exceptional outcomes. With a career built on a foundation of global sales leadership, strategic business development, and technical expertise, I thrive in a complex, dynamic and multicultural ecosystem. I have driven billions of dollars in cloud enterprise technology sales and won top-tier partnership achievements including the prestigious Stevie award for global business development. My proven ability to lead teams to surpass target goals, coupled with my deep industry relationships and engagement with senior executive stakeholders, have been key to my success. At Amazon Web Services (AWS), I led the strategic initiative to create the first-ever Worldwide Partner Solutions Factory for Industries, resulting in groundbreaking growth with services expansion into Manufacturing, Transportation and Travel and Hospitality industries. I defined and executed a new Go-To-Market (GTM) model for solution offerings, achieving 180% of solutions goal and 130% of annual recurring revenue goal. As a senior executive and global VP, I developed and executed a strategic vision, leveraging AWS, IBM, Rackspace, SAVVIS and CSC partnerships to expand Racemi, Inc.'s Global Reach, achieving 80%+ sales growth year-over-year. Today, as a seasoned Amazon business development strategist, I continue to build and lead high-performing global teams to generate $5 Billion in revenue by 2030, establishing actionable, transformational strategies, delivering a clear, and compelling vision to align and drive for overall productivity and success. I bring to bear a unique blend of Global Business Perspective, Strategic Planning and Execution, Team Building & Leadership, Think Big Partnership Development and operational excellence. I am passionate about driving transformative change while fostering a culture of trust and team empowerment to achieve extraordinary results.
