Commercial and general management executive with over 25 years of international leadership experience across the technical industrial B2B and hospitality sectors. Throughout my career, I have led and scaled complex organizations across sales, production and distribution, often in multi-country environments with significant P&L responsibility. I have a strong track record in building high-performance commercial teams, leading organizations of 100+ FTE and supporting international account teams across multiple regions. My focus is on sustainable revenue growth, margin improvement and long-term value creation, particularly in technically complex and competitive markets. My background combines strategic leadership with deep consultative expertise, including total cost of ownership (TCO) optimization for MRO products and processes, as well as energy efficiency and large-scale energy saving programs. I regularly engage at executive and board level on topics such as commercial strategy, international expansion, and complex negotiation processes. I enjoy exchanging perspectives on scaling international sales organizations, aligning commercial strategy with operational excellence, and driving measurable impact in challenging environments.
