About

Passionate about building robust aftermarket ecosystems across complex markets, especially in the heavy equipment and industrial sectors. With over a decade of experience, I’ve worked at the intersection of parts strategy, field support, and business development turning technical challenges into growth opportunities. My journey has taken me from hands-on operations in Africa to regional coordination in Europe, always with a focus on aligning customer needs with smart, scalable solutions. Whether it’s driving parts sales through tailored stock planning, leading marketing initiatives, or collaborating with technical and commercial teams, I bring a pragmatic and field-driven approach to everything I do.
