I am a goal-oriented professional dedicated to high levels of customer satisfaction and meeting aggressive business targets and goals. Additionally, I have excellent leadership ability, sound communication and organizational problem-solving skills, efficient organizational skill in conducting managerial tasks, maintain quality of work by adhering to high standards despite pressing deadlines, and exceptional in negotiations.
