What I'm looking for
I am an experienced sales and key account manager with a proven track record in pharmaceuticals, retail and gastronomy across the Ticino region. I deliver measurable results through negotiation, business development and strong customer management.
I have repeatedly recovered shelf space and market share for major brands, achieving 20% growth in recent roles and top sales rankings at Wander AG, where I triplicated pharmaceutical sales in my region. I lead teams, run projects end-to-end and train staff to elevate performance.
