# Emile McLean

> Head of Business Development and Growth

I'm a hands-on leader who drives measurable growth for both enterprises and startups. At Manulife, I developed and executed a comprehensive retail distribution strategy that generated $18.5M in new sales within ten months, surpassing targets by establishing a new prospecting sales team and implementing AI-powered sales enablement solutions. I also designed and launched an industry-leading advisor recognition program that delivered $42M in incremental revenue, exceeding targets by 133%.

Previously at Sun Life, I spearheaded a $30M digital transformation initiative and built a retention strategy that maintained 98% customer retention among high-value advisors representing $300M+ in revenue. 

My entrepreneurial background includes founding and successfully exiting multiple ventures in technology and consumer goods, giving me firsthand experience in building businesses from the ground up.

I can help you with:

1) Revenue Growth Strategy: Creating and implementing targeted sales programs, compensation structures, and distribution partnerships that drive measurable results

2) AI & Digital Transformation: Leveraging AI, CRM systems, and marketing automation to increase efficiency and sales effectiveness

3) Business Development: Designing go-to-market strategies, identifying new revenue channels, and optimizing sales processes

4) Marketing Innovation: Developing data-driven campaigns and digital marketing initiatives that consistently exceed industry benchmarks

5) Business Strategy & Planning: Building comprehensive business cases, financial projections, and execution roadmaps

6) Practice Management: Transitioning from service provider to business owner, including operational optimization and growth planning

I combine strategic vision with practical execution, helping you not just plan but implement solutions that deliver real results. My approach focuses on identifying quick wins while building sustainable, scalable systems for long-term success.
