• As a Solutions Lead, I spearheaded and successfully secured business opportunities, culminating in over $7MM USD in revenue in 2023 - all new clients. My role as the 'quarterback' of the opportunities involved coordinating a cross-functional collaboration among engineering, estimating, supply chain, and senior leadership teams, alongside managing pivotal relationships with vendors, subcontractors, and clients.
