"Do things with passion or not at all" is a guideline which has accompanied me in my daily professional life for more than 20 years. As a passionate and success-oriented leader, my strengths are strategic and entrepreneur-oriented thinking, keeping always a focus on the big picture. The development of effective and sustainable growth strategies based on a brand positioning and channel management, as well as the development of partnerships and trustful, long-term customer relationships are the basic pillars of my sales approach. I am open for new challenges and next levels of personal development.Professional background✔️ 20+ years of expert knowledge in the sporting goods market in several senior positions✔️ International experience in a global company and working environment✔️ Responsiblity for turnover & budget 20+ Mio € (CAGR 2007-2018 7%+)✔️ Management of 10+ employees, agencies & distributors ✔️ Market expertise in in serval European countries – focus DACH✔️ Development of „Going to the market“ strategies✔️ Broad knowledge of all relevant processes in wholesale & retail environmentsPersonally I like sports and to spend time with my family in the nature – in winter skiing, in summer biking or hiking.
