What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration.

I am a results-driven account manager with a proven track record in managing the entire sales cycle across EMEA and LATAM regions. At Besty AI, I achieved 116% of the sales target in FY25 Q4, demonstrating my ability to drive revenue through strategic sales initiatives. My experience includes executing 200-400 targeted weekly outreaches and leading product demonstrations to showcase product value effectively.

Previously, I served as a Procurement Project Lead and Digital Transformation Specialist at Coface, where I managed projects that resulted in €5M in savings. My role involved coordinating a new SaaS Procurement Performance Management Platform and implementing strategies to enhance cost-effectiveness. With a strong foundation in structured finance from Caisse d’Epargne, I have successfully originated and managed complex financial projects, showcasing my analytical and consultative selling skills.
