Gothenburg, Västra Götaland County, Sweden
With an ability to make strategically based decisions independently and in a leadership position. A strength to analyze and identify opportunities and approaches to develop a business. Designing strategies that lead upward forward. Everything is possible. I firmly believe that a "can-do" attitude is the key to success when building a strong team - getting people to excel with a focus on achieving the common goal. "It is all about the people."
A 3 to 5 year assignment to build a strong GROHE LIXIL EMENA team on the Swedish market, with experience of successful and well-documented sales growth and favorable customer and staff feedback on previous assignments. The assignment ended prematurely due to decisions taken to downsize the organisation in some markets.
A 2 year assignment to change the structure of the Greek region incl. Kosovo and Albania, i.e GROHE South Adria, from a 20 year old license driven market to 100% GROHE incl. complete GROHE employees (FTE's). Demonstrated a leadership that not only supported but also cared for the wellbeing of my team during the COVID-19 lock down. Maintaining focus and determination of reaching the targets and securing the market. Together with the team I succeeded to increase the revenue, in a situation where the circumstances where not always favorable, due to the overall COVID-19 situation worldwide. Increased total revenue from 7M€ to 11M€. i.e 1.6M€ per employee.
