About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Enterprise Sales Executive with more than 20 years of experience in international B2B software sales. My background spans SaaS, Generative AI, enterprise software, data management, content management, ERP, and digital transformation.

I specialize in winning, developing, and expanding strategic enterprise accounts through consultative solution selling. I manage complex, long-cycle opportunities from executive discovery and solution design through proof of concept, commercial negotiation, implementation, and production rollout.

I have built and grown enterprise business across DACH, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and international markets. My experience includes direct and partner-led sales models, executive stakeholder management, strategic account planning, and multi-stakeholder transformation programs.

I have delivered measurable commercial results, including a seven-figure Generative AI deal implemented across 22 countries, the acquisition of Bosch Rexroth as a reference customer, 35% regional revenue growth, and a 20% reduction in sales-cycle duration.

I am experienced in positioning AI-driven automation, data platforms, content management, and SAP-integrated solutions for business-critical customer requirements. I work closely with product, engineering, customer success, and partner teams to translate complex enterprise needs into scalable business outcomes.

I bring strong capabilities in MEDDPICC, negotiation, business-case development, pipeline creation, account expansion, and international enterprise sales. I have been recognized multiple times with Sales of the Year awards, most recently in 2023.
