What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior export/sales leadership role where I can lead CEE/EE market entry, build distributor networks, manage strategic partnerships, and deliver measurable revenue growth through cross-cultural execution.

I’m a strategic export and sales leader with 30 years of experience specializing in the CEE and Eastern European markets. I focus on greenfield market entry, building robust B2B distribution networks, and managing high-level partnerships in the automotive and heavy-duty industries.

I’ve consistently delivered 10–15% annual revenue increases, including building the Russian and Eastern European market “from zero to $1.3M annual revenue” and creating an export department “from the ground up.” Across roles, I’ve acquired distributors and end-users, secured key accounts, and set up international sales and certification processes.

I bring strong cross-cultural negotiation and C1 fluency across multiple languages, bridging “Western corporate strategies and Eastern market realities.” With expertise in FCL logistics, complex account management, and extensive field management, I’m built to grow sustainable export performance.
