Business Development Executive (BDE)

A Business Development Executive (BDE) is responsible for identifying growth opportunities and building strong relationships to drive business success.

They research potential leads, pitch services or products, and maintain client engagement. You can think of a BDE as the strategic thinker who opens new doors and nurtures client partnerships. Their role is vital in helping a company expand its reach, generate revenue, and stay competitive in the market.
