About

I am a bilingual (German/English) Strategic Account Owner and a proven revenue leader with over 5 years of experience specializing in B2B growth and complex client management across the DACH region. My expertise lies in two critical areas: 1. Strategic Business Growth: Consistently driving above-quota performance (138% achievement, Winner's Circle) through both New Logo Acquisition (NNL) and maximizing client lifetime value through upsell and cross-selling strategies. 2. Executive Trust & Strategy: Building credibility with C-level executives and acting as a trusted partner to optimize their business objectives. I leverage my background in high-stakes diplomatic negotiation to manage complex stakeholder environments and build compelling narratives that translate business needs into powerful solutions. I thrive in fast-paced environments, possess a deep understanding of digital Go-to-Market strategy, and am focused on delivering extraordinary and incremental outcomes for both the client and the business.
