• Over 5 years of proven success in sales, either in SaaS or within the food distribution industry.

• Track record of independently prospecting, qualifying, and closing new business with consistency and accountability.

• Exceptional communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to engage confidently with both executive leaders and operational stakeholders.

• Collaborative and humble team player who takes ownership, acts decisively, and contributes to a culture of shared success.

• Driven by impact — passionate about driving innovation and helping build a more sustainable food system.

• Skilled at influencing deal strategy, sharing best practices, and helping scale negotiation frameworks across the team.
