  • Recruit, train, and lead a high-performing sales and event team.
  • Plan and execute events: product launches, in-store activations, and live breaking sessions.
  • Maintain strong vendor and distributor relationships to secure exclusive products and promotional opportunities.
  • Monitor KPIs, generate performance reports, and present strategic recommendations to ownership.
