Results-driven Sales Manager with extensive experience in capital goods.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced Sales Manager with over 14 years in the capital goods sector, specializing in achieving sales targets and optimizing market coverage. My career has been marked by a consistent track record of exceeding sales goals, even in challenging environments such as the current economic climate influenced by the war in Ukraine and inflation.
At AlphaAssemblySolutions, I successfully led the DACH-South region, achieving over 10% sales growth through strategic planning and execution. My proactive approach to damage and returns management resulted in a 15% reduction, while my initiatives in direct sales and visibility optimization contributed to significant sales increases. I also founded Metallplast GmbH, where I secured funding and led innovative projects in R&D.
With a strong foundation in technical sales support and project engineering, I am adept at building relationships and managing distribution networks. I am now seeking a challenging role in a dynamic organization where I can leverage my skills to drive sales and contribute to business growth.
