Program Manager / Business Development / Sales Executive
Microsoft • Full-time
Aug 2020 - Dec 2022 • 2 yrs 4 mos
With a career forged at Microsoft, I offer a unique blend of strategic sales leadership and technical expertise tailored for high-impact results. My journey has seen me evolve from a detail-oriented linguist providing translations at the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum to a high-performing Sales Executive and Partnership Manager driving growth within the tech industry. As a Program Manager, I played a pivotal role in refining the digital experience for millions by managing and optimizing MS 365 Support pages, ensuring complex technical information was accessible and user-friendly. This diverse background allows me to bridge the gap between high-level business development and granular project execution. Whether you require executive-level strategy, partnership growth, or meticulous program oversight, I bring the rigor, adaptability, and excellence of a Microsoft veteran to every project. Let’s collaborate to turn your complex challenges into streamlined, scalable successes.
Sales Team Lead / Business Development
Takelessons • Full-time
Sep 2011 - Aug 2020 • 8 yrs 11 mos
During my tenure at TakeLessons, I specialized in scaling operations through a dual focus on aggressive sales growth and rigorous program management. I was instrumental in identifying and capturing high-value market opportunities, consistently closing multimillion-dollar deals that expanded the company’s footprint and market authority. As a leader at the intersection of sales and strategy, I didn't just win accounts; I built the programmatic frameworks necessary to support them, ensuring that large-scale institutional partnerships were executed with precision and long-term scalability. My approach combined the tenacity of a high-stakes Sales Executive with the structured oversight of a Program Manager, allowing me to navigate complex contract negotiations while simultaneously optimizing internal workflows to deliver on brand promises. This experience solidified my ability to manage the entire lifecycle of high-value business units, from initial cold-outreach and massive revenue generation to the sustainable management of complex, multi-layered service programs.

Nick has been excellent so far! I hired him for a 4-week sales call subscription, and we’re currently in the first week. He’s been very professional, consistent, and proactive with the calls. He communicates clearly, updates me regularly, and I can already tell he’s putting in real effort to book meetings...
