About

With over 14 years of work experience in sales, I am a passionate and driven leader who specializes in ITOM and cloud solutions. I have successfully managed and developed digital sales teams across Central Europe at Nutanix, where I contributed to customer success, revenue growth, and market expansion. Previously, I worked as an account manager and regional sales lead at Micro Focus and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, where I leveraged my skills in MEDDIC sales methodology and key account management to deliver value to clients and partners. I am currently looking for new opportunities to apply my sales expertise and domain knowledge in a dynamic and innovative organization that shares my vision of transforming the IT industry.
