My entrepreneurial spirit, backed by a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and International Business from the University of Auckland, is fueled by a genuine passion for delivering cutting-edge solutions. My core competencies in international sales, contract negotiation, business strategy, business development, and sales management have been instrumental in our expansion.
