Dear Human Resource Manager,

I hope you’re doing well! I’m interested in the role you posted:

I am a smart lad, a pragmatic leader and a result orientated person who has demonstrated these attributes while in School and throughout my career in different organisation.

Kindly see below brief highlights of my key achievements and profile:

• Grew sales revenue consistently by double digit ($35M to over $100M) from 2014 to 2021 at Japan Tobacco International through excellent management of both the distributors and JTI Direct sales team as well as having the right pricing strategy.

• Lead the JTI Commercial Team to deliver all KPI’s that will drive business growth and sustainability of the company.

• Successfully launched new products and one of the fastest growing SKU in the industry.

• Accelerated career growth at Japan Tobacco International and first Nigerian Director in the history of the organisation.

• Worked very well with people of diverse culture and backgrounds.

• Won " INSPIRE AWARD" for 5 consecutive years, 2017 to 2021. This award is for excellence, competence, and results; awarded to one person in the whole organisation at the end of every year.

• Best Business Development Executive in Nigeria at Globacom Limited in 2007.

• MBA with specialization in Marketing – 2015.

• Top 3 best graduating students of Mechanical class of 2002 at age 21.

• High level functional and leadership trainings both internationally and locally.

This position requires someone with an excellent leadership skill, project management, excel skills, analytical mindset, interpersonal skills, and high numeracy to succeed and I have got these skill sets.

I have got the requisite experience to successfully manage any organisation - having worked in two different sectors with different regulations, am ready to hit the ground running from day one because I have the local knowledge and I understand how it works- act local, think global!

I will appreciate it if my application is considered and invited for an interview for this role.

Thank you and regards,

Victor OSHILIM.
