I find revenue
where others
see a cold market.

Eight years opening markets and growing enterprise accounts across four continents — most recently €1.3M in new ARR at 145% of target. Hunter's instinct, account-manager's patience, trilingual reach.

What I bring

Built to win deals — and keep the customers they bring.

01

Net-new revenue & market entry

From a standing start to €450K pipeline and the first 10 enterprise logos. I open markets, not just accounts — building the motion that lets others scale it.

02

Enterprise relationships that retain

Managed a €4.5M portfolio and consistently grew it. I treat every account like the renewal depends on it — because it does. Equal parts hunter and trusted advisor.

03

Teams & enablement

Led teams of up to 4 and authored a company-wide sales playbook that drove 25% growth. I raise close rates by making the whole team better, not just my own number.

04

Cross-cultural & multilingual

Sold and supported clients across the US, UK, Germany, Australia and New Zealand in three languages. I adapt the message to the market — and to the person across the table.

The track record

Eight years, four continents, one constant: growth.
