About

''Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failures, loyalty and persistence'' - Colin Powell. At LinkedIn, I support organizations in the BENELUX region in working more efficiently and driving new business acquisition within SMB, Mid-Market and high-growth enterprise organizations. As an Account Executive, I focus purely on new business acquisition across the BENELUX region. I manage the full sales cycle end-to-end, from prospecting and qualification through to negotiation and close. My role centers on building pipeline, closing new logos, and converting pilots into long-term partnerships through structured value-led selling. Previously, as a Junior Consultant at Talent&Pro, I focused on account management within the financial sector, strengthening my foundation in customer service & stakeholder engagement
