About me

I sup­port indus­tri­al com­pa­nies in inter­na­tio­nal B2B envi­ron­ments with the sta­bi­liza­ti­on, sca­ling, and rea­lignment of sales and busi­ness deve­lo­p­ment. My focus is on tech­ni­cal­ly sophisti­ca­ted pro­ducts, com­plex sales struc­tures, and inter­na­tio­nal pro­ject-dri­ven business.

For more than 15 years, I have work­ed across machi­nery and plant engi­nee­ring, auto­ma­ti­on, medi­cal tech­no­lo­gy, and rene­wa­ble ener­gy. During this time, I have built, res­truc­tu­red, and led inter­na­tio­nal sales orga­niza­ti­ons in both direct and indi­rect sales models, with reve­nue respon­si­bi­li­ty of up to EUR 60 mil­li­on.

Typi­cal are­as of enga­ge­ment include:

  • Inter­na­tio­na­liza­ti­on and mar­ket entry

  • Reor­ga­niza­ti­on of sales and chan­nel structures

  • Per­for­mance impro­ve­ment of exis­ting sales organizations

  • Manage­ment of com­plex bid­ding and pro­ject phases

  • Post-mer­ger inte­gra­ti­on and sales transformation

I am accus­to­med to working in owner-led, pri­va­te equi­ty, and trans­for­ma­ti­on envi­ron­ments. My decis­i­ons are fact-based, with a clear focus on impact and exe­cu­ti­on. Stra­tegy is not an end in its­elf, but a foun­da­ti­on for mea­sura­ble results.

Inter­na­tio­nal­ly, I have held ope­ra­tio­nal respon­si­bi­li­ty across EMEA, North Ame­ri­ca, APAC, MENA, Japan, and India. Working with diver­se cul­tures, stake­hol­ders, and inte­rest groups is part of my day-to-day business.

My working style is hands-on, struc­tu­red, and results-dri­ven. I onboard quick­ly, ana­ly­ze the initi­al situa­ti­on with pre­cis­i­on, and imple­ment prag­ma­tic mea­su­res that deli­ver short-term impact while remai­ning sus­tainable over the long term.

In addi­ti­on to my ope­ra­tio­nal roles, I am acti­ve as a trai­ner and lec­tu­rer. This back­ground streng­thens my abili­ty to struc­tu­re com­plex topics cle­ar­ly, ali­gn teams, and trans­fer respon­si­bi­li­ty effectively.

Long-term per­for­mance-ori­en­ted expe­ri­ence in Tae­kwon­do (3rd Dan) shapes my lea­der­ship style through disci­pli­ne, resi­li­ence, and con­sis­tent execution.
