Adam Savelli , London, United Kingdom

Well-versed in both outbound sales and long-term account management, I’m an all-rounder who is equally comfortable signing new clients or growing revenue with existing partners. Additionally, I’m well versed in Salesforce, data analysis and insights, and the operational back-end of managing a highly successful business development/sales/fundraising team.

Having launched the world’s best-selling coconut water brand in more than fifty cities across twenty counties, and helped to grow Vita Coco from seed investment into a $670m brand, I’ve always enjoyed working on small teams that produce big results. The seventh employee in a startup that now employees more than 600, I was selected to move from New York to London and spearhead adaptation of the brand’s American sales strategy for international markets. After overseeing multi-million dollar budgets, generating data-driven growth strategies, building teams, engineering distribution networks, and developing key clients in dozens of global markets, I pivoted into the tech sector as the Head of Business Development at a leading AI-powered logistics firm. In charge of Quiqup’s revenue generation strategy and sales team, I managed several key projects while my team exceeded ambitious growth targets. By combining strong interpersonal and analytical skills, I’ve succeeded both in the field and behind my desk. A believer in tribal leadership, I thrive where I can both contribute to and benefit from the energy and expertise of those around me.
