What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead growth for a B2B SaaS, payments, fintech, or technology company, owning go-to-market strategy, revenue, P&L, international expansion, and high-performing commercial teams.

I've scaled B2B SaaS, payments, fintech, and technology businesses from pre-revenue to €2.5M–€35M+ ARR. As CEO of Booksalon, I grew a vertical SaaS and payments platform for beauty and wellness SMBs from pre-revenue to €2.5M+ annual revenue and delivered 300% revenue growth.

I own P&L, strategy, fundraising, and board reporting, while building hands-on sales, marketing, and customer success organizations. I align product, engineering, and commercial teams to shorten go-to-market cycles, launch products faster, and win against established competitors.

At Qvantel, I grew ARR from €15M to €35M+ and improved sales efficiency by 35% through region-specific sales strategy and Salesforce-based forecasting. Earlier, I built Star Arcade to $5M+ annual revenue across 180+ countries, raised $5M in venture funding, and led a 25-person cross-functional team.

I've also helped build two successful exits: Openbit to Tanla Solutions and Grain Village Studios to Qvantel. My work spans international B2B sales, strategic partnerships, enterprise account leadership, fundraising, and expansion across EMEA markets.
