Background

About Troy Barber

I'm a business development professional with 19+ years’ experience selling product development consulting services to senior level clientele in the medical, life science, femtech, tactical communications, industrial, and consumer product spaces. I'm accomplished at rapidly generating new business while implementing reproducible strategies and sales methodologies in creative services organizations. I'm a hunter by heart and enjoy finding and building new business from scratch, but am equally proficient building customer rapport and securing repeat business. Satisfying my customers is foremost in my mind and I've built up a network of partners in a variety of fields that I'm happy to refer prospects and customers to when their needs extend beyond the services that I can help them with. As a side note, I'm a very competitive person and pitched in the Granite State 25+ Baseball League from 2006 to 2021 (I also served as the GSBL Treasurer from January 2016 to December 2022), the NHBL 38+ since 2017, and the New England Legends 50+ Baseball League ("NELBL") since 2021.
