Behnam Khatami

I'm driving exhibitor growth at Trailblazer Summits GmbH, part of CloserStill Media UK, where I lead strategic international B2B relationships and own the exhibitor journey end to end.

Previously at Statista GmbH, I acquired new business across DACH through cold calling, networking, social selling, and structured pipeline work. I created tailored proposals and contracts, represented the business at trade fairs, and worked closely with Marketing and internal lead teams to improve sales execution.

I've also led a team of three sales professionals at FA Business Solutions GmbH and founded VOOP GmbH, where I drove product development, market entry, customer acquisition, sales-funnel development, and marketing campaigns.

My background includes export and business development across 27 countries for BRAND AND VISION GmbH, alongside earlier experience in international trade, procurement, supplier negotiations, and company management. I bring a commercial, hands-on approach to building pipelines, converting opportunities, and growing long-term customer partnerships.
