Experienced Head of Sales driving B2B tech growth across Europe and Africa
What I'm looking for
I am a sales leader with 10+ years' experience building and scaling B2B commercial operations across Europe and Africa. I have led international go-to-market strategy and execution for medtech and tech startups.
I scaled domestic and international sales from scratch to 400+ clients and over €1.5M in annual revenue, designed GTM strategy, CRM and lead-generation workflows, and recruited and managed cross-functional teams of up to five. I secured strategic partnerships and won public tenders including Ministries of Health, armed forces and international organizations.
Earlier, I led business development and commercial strategy at a social media marketing startup where I doubled revenue in three years and built the BD team, and I drove web, SEO and affiliate programs that launched new markets and first-user acquisition strategies.
I hold a Master in Management (NEOMA) with an exchange at an Indian management institute, and I am French native with fluent English and Spanish. I bring a pragmatic, data-driven approach to scaling revenue, building teams and winning complex deals.
