With nearly 20 years of experience in the sales of complex industrial equipment, I have dedicated my career to leading sales teams in the high-tech 5-axis machine tools, manufacturing, and assembly systems sector, primarily serving the automotive and aerospace industries. My extensive experience includes a decade in Asian markets (India, China, Korea, Japan) and five years of residency in China.I am passionate about leveraging the cultural advantages of diverse teams to deliver exceptional value to our customers. My leadership philosophy centers on empowering and encouraging personal growth among employees to achieve our company’s goals.With a robust technical background and a masters degree in engineering, my approach is both results-driven and hands-on. Leading with a positive “can-do” attitude, I excel at navigating complex problems and turning challenges into learning opportunities.Over the years, I’ve built and coordinated sales teams, significantly expanding sales networks across Asia, particularly in China and India. My efforts have led to the development of key account customers, the negotiation of long-term purchasing agreements, and the generation of business worth more than one billion Euros in revenue. Additionally, I’ve successfully transformed sales organizations to meet the evolving demands of the automotive industry, including the shift towards new energy vehicles.
