I’m a commercially driven Key Account Management and Business Development professional with 7+ years of experience across international organizations, specializing in B2B sales, corporate account management, and logistics for Oil & Gas and other industrial needs. I build strong customer relationships, identify growth opportunities, and support opportunities end-to-end through needs assessment, tailored proposals/quotations, negotiation, follow-up, and conversion into confirmed bookings and active accounts. Based in Mozambique, I’ve gained hands-on experience in cabotage and maritime logistics, including onboarding new customers and introducing practical maritime transport solutions aligned with customer requirements. Previously, at DHL Express Mozambique, I managed corporate accounts and resolved customer and billing issues under SLA requirements, supported revenue protection through active follow-up on outstanding balances, and coordinated across Sales and Customer Service to ensure timely resolutions.
