Athena Moretti
@athenamoretti
Sales Manager with 10+ years in international B2B tech sales, leading key accounts and optimizing pipeline with KPI/CRM/ERP.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Sales Manager with over 10 years of experience in B2B commercial development, both national and international, across manufacturing, automation, laboratory, and technology contexts. I operate on commercial direction and strategy, with a clear focus on market growth, key customer management, and international distribution and OEM relationships.
What sets me apart is my ability to translate strategic thinking into concrete execution—especially in sales pipeline vision and consultative negotiation with clients. I structure and optimize sales processes, and support success through training and onboarding of sales resources, plus disciplined budget, forecast, and KPI management.
I’ve coordinated sales teams and built performance systems that track opportunities and results through advanced ERP and CRM usage. In my experience with HTA, I managed B2B sales in automation and advanced manufacturing, serving distribution channels and OEM customers, and I contributed to an approximately 20% increase in active accounts across the covered regions.
Today, I lead sales and business development for mid-market and enterprise B2B clients—covering software solutions, ERP systems, RFID, and traceability technologies—across Italy and international contexts. I optimize and implement sales processes, and I support senior management with forecasting and budget planning through data analysis and sales reporting, aligning sales, operations, and technical functions.
