What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate and drive growth in a collaborative environment.

With a robust background in sales, marketing, and business development, I thrive on challenges and have a proven track record of driving growth in various sectors. My entrepreneurial mindset has led me to co-found startups and manage significant projects, generating substantial revenue and fostering partnerships across diverse industries.

Currently, I serve as a Business Developer Manager at Doctolib, where I am responsible for expanding our client base in Tuscany's medical sector. My previous roles include strategic consulting for SMEs at Teamsystem and leading business development efforts at Johnson & Johnson Medical, where I achieved a remarkable 25% year-over-year sales growth. My experience spans from startups to corporate environments, equipping me with the skills to innovate and create value in any setting.

As a life entrepreneur, I am always seeking new ideas and opportunities to make a positive impact. I believe in the power of collaboration and creativity, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a dynamic team that values innovation and growth.
