Results-driven Sales Manager with expertise in water treatment solutions.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Sales Manager with nearly 7 years of experience in the industrial water treatment and filtration sector. My career has been marked by a proven track record in building and managing sales regions, developing distributor networks, and acquiring new customers across both industrial and municipal sectors. I possess strong technical knowledge combined with strategic sales expertise, which has enabled me to drive growth in competitive markets.
Currently, I manage sales for Germany and Austria at Amiad Water Systems, where I oversee a territory generating approximately €1.3M in annual revenue. My efforts have led to the expansion of key accounts worth around €500K annually, and I have successfully driven new customer acquisition across these regions. Previously, I built a sales region from scratch at Veolia Water Technologies, exceeding €1M in annual revenue and securing multi-year rental contracts. My ability to negotiate and deliver end-to-end customer support has been instrumental in my success.
