What I'm looking for
As an international sales expert with over 25 years of experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the DACH market and a robust network within the industrial sector. My tenure at BRUGG eConnect AG as a Sales Director and Executive Board Member allowed me to lead strategic global sales initiatives, focusing on DACH, North America, and Asia. I successfully built an international partner network and executed major customer projects, including long-term contracts with OEMs and system integrators in various industries.
My technical foundation stems from my Master's degree in Nuclear Physics and extensive experience in selling electrotechnical systems with industry leaders like ABB, Siemens, and Philips. I have a proven track record in technical consulting, contract negotiations, and project management, utilizing tools such as Salesforce and SAP. Fluent in German and English, along with proficiency in two Eastern European languages and conversational French, I am well-equipped to engage with diverse clients and stakeholders.
With my analytical mindset, strong customer orientation, and willingness to travel extensively, I am eager to contribute to Datwyler's growth in the industrial infrastructure and cabling solutions sector. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my expertise can benefit your sales team.
