I am the go-to BD guy at Antlere by Abacus Cambridge Partners where I am an individual contributor for their US expansion efforts. Apart from Antlere, I head Business Development efforts at InTech Studio.
I help companies find high-quality resources at affordable costs. I help companies in outsourcing art (2D and 3D), development (Unity, Unreal, PHP, React, Django), design and QA at a fraction of the US costs.
Having previously worked for companies such as Tintash, Crimson Night Limited UK, FRAG Games and Esketchers, I have around 4 years of BD experience.
I have been generating leads, managing customer relationship Softwares, and sales pipelines as well as running drip campaigns for more than 4 years now, I believe I have the relevant experience under my belt to contribute a lot to your team. Of the hundreds of CRM tools out there, I have used Found.ly, Streak, SalesForce, FreshSales, Woodpecker, Salesloft, Crystal, Active Campaign, and others.
In terms of education, I have an MBA with majors in marketing.
I love to talk shop so feel free to ping me.
