My exposure to the retail business started at an early stage.In recent years and across various positions, I assumed responsibility within METRO AG for stores, regions and the development of new customer groups. Following managerial roles as a Floor- and Store Manager, I successfully completed two stints as a General Manager. Next, I gained in-depth know-how in training projects (sales training, change management, etc.) as a Project Manager and was then able to implement this knowledge in international projects ("future topics", digitalization, etc.) as a Senior Project Manager.Finally, as Head of Sales in the "Hospitality Digital" - which operates as a subsidiary of Metro – my work focused on the support and acquisition of professional gastronomy customers. In this function, I enjoyed developing, planning and implementing innovative digital concepts and technologies while achieving corresponding successes.Throughout my career, I have been known as someone who seeks contact with customers and aligns entire organizations to their needs to further enhance their sales success.
