Retail Professional looking for his next role as managing director or sales manager

Austria

About

I am a versatile commercial professional person who is currently looking for his next challenge, may that be general or regional management or sales and marketing leadership. I would like to stay in Hungary (western region) or in Austria (eastern region) and I think my German and English language skills cater both to local and international companies well. I grew to be an excellent organiser having to coordinate not just new market entries, product launches but openings of complete stores. I thrive on strategizing and implementing holistic business plans and I also have great interest in mentoring people. Being with Aldi and Pek-Snack allowed me to learn and become proficient in many fields: analysis, negotiation with blue chip companies like Coca Cola, planning and executing on time and within budget, hiring and staffing. According to my experience, a change of industry is a valuable exchange of experience for the employer, and on the other hand it means extra motivation for me. I am a creative person who loves the great outdoors: being an avid angler I regularly take trips also abroad to explore new fishing opportunities. I also have fun rafting or just walking in beautiful forests. Get in touch with me via email: [email protected] Specialties: Management, planning, analysing, staffing, negotiation, new business opportunities and fishing.
