What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a long-term role in a European or remote SaaS, fintech or brand-led team, where I can lead projects, accounts or partnerships and combine operational delivery with long-term client relationships.

I've delivered global fintech and blockchain conferences for Interledger Foundation across the USA, Mexico City and Cape Town with zero operational disruption, while reducing vendor costs by 20% and strengthening local procurement networks.

Across BMW, Volkswagen, Anglo American, Coca-Cola, Howler and Snake Nation, I've led complex campaigns, corporate events, SaaS accounts and sponsorship partnerships. I've negotiated BMW/VW budgets from €4M to €2M without compromising production quality, closed €180k+ in tech and blockchain partnerships, and managed 12+ concurrent projects with 100% on-time delivery.

At Howler, I grew 15 key accounts by 30–40%, maintained 100% retention and built multi-country account management teams. I also co-founded HOT ON TOP, growing it into a 50+ event cultural brand with 2,500+ peak attendance, approximately €2M in revenue, and long-term partnerships with Corona and Jameson.

I'm currently consulting independently on partnerships, strategy and creative work while looking for a long-term role with a European SaaS, fintech or brand-led team. I bring practical operational delivery, cultural fluency and trusted C-suite relationships built through repeat business and referrals.
