What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a C-level commercial role where I can lead strategic partnerships, accelerate revenue growth, and expand internationally—working with cross-functional teams to turn complex customer needs into scalable, long-term value.

I specialize in driving revenue growth through strategic framework agreements, international market expansion, and management of +46 extensive partnership sales. As CCO & Strategic Partnerships, I focus on high-level relationship sales and strategic account management—bridging complex client needs with cross-functional solutions.

In my current role, I’m responsible for go-to-market activities, acquiring and nurturing key accounts across verticals, and leading international expansions into multiple countries. I bring a “hunter mentality with relationship focus,” ensuring long-term value through disciplined, C-level-ready partnership and sales strategy.

Previously, I built and launched a FoodTech app as an Entrepreneur Partner, owning product development, user acquisition, acquisition-to-sales motion, and business validation end-to-end. Earlier, as a Senior Sales Executive / Solution Specialist, I expanded SaaS products across Sweden and the Nordics with prospecting, outreach, demoing, negotiation, key account management, and customer success—supported by investments and M&A experience and commercial due diligence.
