En résumé

Currently Business Developer for an international Start-up, I am always open to new challenges and opportunities.

As a business developer, my primary duty is to analyze new markets in order to increase the company revenue. This can mean also looking for potential partnering with other companies, selling new products to existing markets, or developing new products or services for a global market.
In my opinion, a good business developer must keep abreast of competitor's strategies, such as their marketing plans and new products. In addition, the developer must have an in-depth knowledge of his company's own products, marketing strategies and key demographics. As a business developer, my main responsibility is to find new clients, negotiate with them and close those deals.

I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic person ready to demonstrate the skills and abilities that I have gained during my previous experience. I am not afraid of working hard under pressure circumstances in order to accomplish the goals I have. With my strong communication and organizational skills I am willing to achieve my responsibilities successfully. I am self-motivated, organized and I can adapt and manage easily any type of situation that might occur. Being strongly competent and devoted I can meet deadlines efficiently. With my team spirit and group leading skills I am able to coordinate individuals and deal with their difficulties when necessary. I enjoy problem solving and am ease with decision making on a day-to-day basis.

Personally, I am glad to state that my experience and technical expertise are matching the requirements for this position. In addition to the above qualities, I have acquired qualifications in technical and commercial support, and improve my recruitment and sales skills during my previous experience. Therefore, my education curriculum allows enhancing in this way. I am a recent graduate of Bradford University with an MSc applied in Management and Enterprise. I also received my Bachelor in Administration Economics and Social from Sorbonne University. Furthermore, these different experiences gave me a great adaptability.

I am very analytical and am very passionate about mining through data and taking core information to come up with the best alternative for business challenges. I have exercised that skill and succeeded while conducting research for Bradford University's through my master final project in order to implement an innovative solution to the transportation industry in United Kingdom. When conducting research for this project, I was able to pinpoint the problem, come up with a new process or idea and effectively and efficiently implemented it. Upon completing the project, I received a distinction from the University Committee after my presentation for using an innovative technological solution to improve the taxi industry.

Having always taken an active interest in fashion and luxurious business, I have immersed myself in the famous and prestigious American retailer, the most rewarding experience being the Sales assistant at Abercrombie&Fitch in London. Being a cast member and team leader provided me with the opportunity to develop and expand my communication and interpersonal skills on a professional level and allowed me to gain a valuable insight into the challenging and rewarding world of international retail service.

Through previous experience, I have collaborated with colleagues from all over the world and in different fields including sales, merchandising and sourcing. In all these fields, I constantly strived to seek excellent customer satisfaction, meet set targets and be part of a successful working team. I am also accustomed to a fast-paced environment where deadlines are priority and handling multiple jobs simultaneously is the norm. I enjoy being challenged and work hard to attain my goals. I am seeking the opportunity to transition my experience, my strong organizational and computer skills.
