About

With 3 years of sales experience and 8 years in customer-facing roles, I combine commercial skills with an emphasis on building meaningful connections and offering real value. What drives me is solving complex business challenges and connecting with people. I believe that curiosity and an open mindset are key to learning - something I try to apply in my work and beyond. I enjoy working in teams and strongly believe in sharing knowledge to achieve better results together. I’m currently studying German to broaden my language skills.
