Creating value
Profound Sales Management expertise
With over 30 years in Sales, including 15 years in Management across diverse industries such as E-Mobility, Media and Pharma I have developed a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of business. My experience spans the manufacturing, wholesale, and retail sectors, each presenting its unique dynamics. I consistently maintain a focus on both the bigger picture and intricate details, a crucial aspect of effective Sales Management.
I have garnered best-in-class expertise through my tenure at major multinational corporations, such as Reed Elsevier/RELX Group and Fossil Group Inc. Having traversed the entire spectrum of Sales roles, from Account Manager to Sales Director, I possess firsthand knowledge of what motivates sales people and how to extract their optimal performance.
Diverse and proven track record
As Sales Director, I effectively guided a substantial sales organization (50 team members, € 20 million revenue base) through a transformative period in a demanding environment. In my entrepreneurial capacity, I built an online business platform in E-Mobility from the ground up, subsequently selling it and advancing its growth as the CEO of a German SME.
Blended Start-up and Corporate mindset
Entrepreneurship in start-ups has instilled in me the skill of taking calculated risks, seizing opportunities, and guiding a team with a shared vision. On the other hand, corporate experience has equipped me with the ability to navigate the complex organizational structure, consistently make precise forecasts, and effectively manage a broad range of responsibilities. All of this within an international context.

Best-in-class experience I gained by working at large multinationals (i.e. Reed Elsevier/RELX Group, Fossil Group Inc.). Having gone through all Sales roles myself, from Account Manager to Sales Director, I do know what drives Salespeople and how to get the best out of them.
Diverse and proven track record
In the role of Sales Director I successfully led a large Sales organization (50 heads, 20 Mio revenue base) through change in a challenging context. As entrepreneur, I created from scratch an online business platform in E-Mobility, which I subsequently sold and further developed in the role of CEO of a german SME.
