Hi, Iโm ๐๐ก๐ฌ๐๐ง. Letโs challenge an old industry myth: Cold calling isn't dead; your system is just outdated. In B2B sales, relying on luck, referrals, and guesswork will leave your pipeline empty.
I act as your ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ (๐๐๐). I don't just blast generic emails or blindly dial numbers. I build predictable and scalable outreach systems that consistently deliver high-quality meetings with decision-makers. By combining forensic lead generation with aggressive, math-driven cold calling, I bypass gatekeepers and get you in front of the people who write the checks.
Whether you are a fast growing agency, a nearshore staffing firm, or a SaaS company, I build pipelines that convert.

Professional Profile
Highly motivated and versatile professional with experience in Federal Executive Recruiting, customer success, appointment setting, office management, operations, logistics, and client relations. I have built my career around being dependable, adaptable, and able to step into different roles and industries while quickly learning what is needed to keep operations running efficiently. I am also a NAPS Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC), demonstrating my professional knowledge and commitment to ethical and effective recruiting practices.
For the past four years, I have worked as a Federal Executive Recruiter, specializing in identifying and engaging high-level sales and technical professionals within the Federal technology and cybersecurity markets. My experience includes LinkedIn Recruiter, advanced candidate sourcing, Boolean search development, cold outreach, candidate screening, interview coordination, relationship management, and maintaining consistent communication throughout the hiring process.
A significant part of my recruiting experience has involved working directly with Vice Presidents and senior leadership at large IT and technology companies to support their hiring efforts. I coordinate interviews between candidates and hiring teams, manage scheduling across multiple stakeholders, maintain communication throughout the interview process, assist with hiring coordination, and help keep candidates and leadership aligned from initial introduction through the final stages of the hiring process. This work requires professionalism, discretion, strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple searches and candidates simultaneously.
During this same period, I have also worked in appointment setting and customer success for a well-known stock market trading education and training program. In this role, I communicate with prospective and existing customers, schedule appointments, conduct follow-up, support customer needs, maintain client relationships, and help provide a positive experience from initial contact through continued engagement. This position has strengthened my skills in customer service, sales support, relationship building, communication, and working with individuals with varying levels of knowledge and experience.
My background also includes hands-on office management and operations experience in two very different service-based environments. During COVID, I managed office and administrative operations for a beverage delivery company in New York City. Working in a fast-paced delivery environment required coordinating orders and deliveries, communicating with customers, managing schedules, handling day-to-day administrative responsibilities, solving problems quickly, and helping keep operations organized during an unusually challenging time.
I also handled office management and administrative operations for a lawn service in Florida that subcontracted with local landscaping companies. My responsibilities included coordinating schedules and work orders, communicating with contractors and customers, organizing service routes, tracking job completion, handling administrative tasks, and helping ensure work was completed accurately and on schedule.
My experience has given me a diverse skill set and the ability to work effectively with Vice Presidents and senior leadership of large IT companies, executives, hiring managers, candidates, customers, contractors, sales professionals, and internal teams. I am experienced in coordinating interviews and hiring activities, managing multiple schedules and priorities, maintaining professional communication between candidates and decision-makers, and ensuring processes continue moving forward efficiently.
I am comfortable working independently with little supervision, learning new systems quickly, managing competing priorities, solving problems, and taking ownership of responsibilities from beginning to completion. I bring a strong work ethic, self-motivation, honesty, integrity, and a genuine commitment to producing quality work in every position I take on.
