What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation in energy solutions and values sustainability.

I am an Inside Sales Representative at Siemens AG, where I have successfully achieved a 100% sales quota by executing strategic sales campaigns for digital sustainability building services. My leadership in developing a sales strategy has empowered a team of 25 sales representatives to enhance their quota achievements, which I proudly presented to our management team.

Previously, I was selected for a prestigious trainee program at Siemens AG, where I won a significant customer tender exceeding 350,000 EUR. My analytical skills allowed me to identify process inefficiencies in a strategic energy project worth over 18 million EUR, leading to a 50% increase in time efficiency. My academic background includes a Master’s in Sales Engineering and Product Management, specializing in Energy Engineering, where I ranked in the top 5% of my class.
