Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
With over two decades of experience in international sales across footwear, apparel, lifestyle and accessories, I have developed a strong track record in building wholesale, franchise, distributor and key account channels across EMEA, APAC, the Middle East, China and the Americas. As Head of International Sales, I work with international partners, distributors, franchise operators, agents and key accounts to develop markets, expand distribution and create sustainable growth. My role combines strategic planning with hands-on execution, from go-to-market structures and partner management to forecasting, pricing, product alignment and market performance review. Throughout my career, I have supported market entry and expansion projects, built partner-led growth models and worked closely with cross-functional teams to translate brand priorities into local market execution. I value clear communication, trusted partnerships and structured execution in multicultural business environments. My focus is on growing international brands through strong partner networks, relevant market strategies and long-term business development.
