About

Professional summary

Yes, my CV is atypical. You don't need a PhD to see that.
Decision makers tend to be interested anyway, maybe even because of it.

They don't just like my profile. They love my output: high quality, high volume.
My employer references and letters of recommendation back that up, and former clients are happy to be contacted.

I've worked across sales, partnerships, communications and operations. I usually improve revenue in the short and long term. I learn fast and enjoy it. I stay calm under pressure and keep the bigger picture in view. I'm a systems thinker and a proud generalist.

What I bring:

- A focus on the goal, not on the credit.
- Direct, polite communication that raises problems while they're still small.
- Ownership of the gaps between teams.
- A willingness to take on the tasks others avoid.
- The habit of building my own tools with AI.
- A track record of turning contacts into lasting relationships.

Roles I'm looking for:

- Founders Associate, Business Operations and other "Bridge & Glue" roles: making sure work gets done, so founders and specialists can focus on what they do best.
- Roles without a conventional title: if you need someone proactive who connects people and translates between disciplines, here I am.
- Sales, Inside Sales, BDR and similar roles: German-speaking markets.

Location & availability:

Currently based in Vienna, relocating permanently to the Netherlands. Barcelona is on the list too. Fully remote, or somewhere else entirely? For the right role, yes.
Comfortable working across European and US time zones. Available immediately, with full EU work authorisation.

Languages: German (native), English (fluent)

Working style:

I deliver my best work in remote-first or fully remote setups. Office-based roles are an option too, as long as they include at least 30 days of work from abroad per year. I'm no stranger to long hours, demanding projects or high stakes.

What I need is room for deep work in a state of flow. Give me ownership and clear goals, not micromanagement. And I have fun getting stuff done.

Salary: €39,200 gross per year is my firm minimum.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to forward my profile to the decision makers. Let's talk.
