• Serve as the senior relationship leader and trusted advisor for a portfolio of clients across industries such as construction, manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, professional services, not-for-profit and family offices.
• Direct end-to-end enterprise resource planning (ERP) engagements, from selection and implementation through integration, customization, optimization and managed support.
• Drive business development by expanding existing client relationships, cultivating referral sources and collaborating with the Firm's Outsourcing & Resource Solutions, Digital Advisory and industry teams on cross-service opportunities.

Sales Excellence

• Develop and execute a disciplined, practice-wide sales strategy with defined pipeline targets, pursuit processes and win/loss feedback loops that build a predictable, high-quality revenue funnel.
• Lead the pursuit of strategic new-logo and expansion opportunities, personally engaging in key proposals, executive presentations and contract negotiations for significant or complex engagements.
• Build and sustain a high-performing sales culture within the practice by coaching team members on business development skills, establishing accountability for individual pipeline contribution and recognizing commercial achievement.
