Experienced DACH-focused account manager driving sales growth and long-term client relationships.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced account manager with over 10 years in sales and marketing, specialising in the DACH region. I bring native German and fluent English language skills, a Master’s degree in Marketing (Distinction), and a proven track record in new business acquisition, renewals, and channel management.
Throughout my career I have driven revenue growth through cold outreach, strategic account management, up-sell/cross-sell initiatives, and stakeholder engagement at senior levels. I have consistently met and exceeded targets, coached underperforming colleagues, and launched market expansion efforts across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
I adapt quickly to new environments, work effectively both independently and in teams, and prioritise clear communication and customer value to reduce churn and build long-term partnerships.
