Dynamic and results-driven sales leader with over 8 years of experience in driving revenue growth, managing cross-cultural teams across Europe, and developing scalable sales strategies. I specialize in account-based management, team coaching, and delivering strategic results in competitive markets. My leadership philosophy is rooted in data-driven strategies and a strong focus on individual and team development, ensuring sustainable success for the organizations I serve.
Passionate about refining sales processes and maximizing team achievements, I am proud to have built a legacy of success, with several employees continuing to apply the knowledge and methodologies I shared with them. Colleagues often highlight my ability to lead by example, foster collaboration, and empower others to reach their full potential.
After a proven track record in team and people management, I am now seeking a senior managerial role with significant growth opportunities. I am particularly interested in positions with expanded responsibilities, whether in scope, strategic impact, or market influence.
My Favorite Quote: "C’est à la fin du bal qu’on paie les musiciens." This means: "The game isn't over until the final out." For me, sales is not a sprint but a marathon. Success comes from staying focused and committed from day one until the very last minute of the month or quarter. That’s the mindset that drives consistent results!
