Background

About Kian Emadi

Commercially driven and people-first. From Nike retail to cruise sales (phone → onboard), B2B and recruitment — I connect with customers, grow accounts, and deliver results that last. I build revenue by building trust. From estate agency and retail to B2B and cruise sales — and now into recruitment — my career has been about understanding people, asking better questions, and turning conversations into long-term results. I’ve generated multimillion-pound cruise revenue and seven-figure ancillary packages, progressing from head-office phone sales to face-to-face selling onboard ships, and I’ve carried that discipline back on land across B2B and client-facing roles. Earlier stints at Nike (4 years), estate agency, events, and team leadership in the charity sector taught me how to perform in fast, target-driven environments while keeping standards high and teams motivated. Today, I’m focused on recruitment and business development — combining commercial rigour with a people-first approach. Whether it’s filling critical roles, developing accounts, or growing pipelines, I prioritise clarity, follow-through, and measurable outcomes. If you value straightforward communication, accountability, and results you can quantify, let’s talk. — Specialties: business development, client relationship management, talent acquisition, B2B sales, negotiation, pipeline management, stakeholder engagement, presentation, and data-driven performance.
