What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic company that values growth and innovation.

I am a dynamic and results-driven sales professional with over 10 years of experience in account management and business development within the software and analytics industry. My proven track record in driving revenue growth, managing key accounts, and leading international sales strategies has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in competitive environments. I am fluent in French, Turkish, and English, allowing me to engage and build relationships across diverse cultures.

In my most recent role as an International Account Manager at Pendo.io, I owned a quota with high targets, focusing on managing and expanding relationships with existing mid-market accounts. I developed and executed account growth strategies, collaborated cross-functionally with various teams, and ensured forecast accuracy while delivering data-driven insights. My previous experience includes managing the financial services vertical at Qlik and founding a successful yoga studio, showcasing my versatility and ability to adapt to different industries.
