- Demonstrated ability to lead, inspire, and coach geographically dispersed teams.
- A blend of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery at the grassroots level.
- Track record of achieving income growth, acquisition, and retention targets.
- Experience using Salesforce CRM or similar platforms.
- Strong financial acumen with budget management and forecasting experience.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, and relationship management skills.
