What I'm looking for

I'm only interested in remote work positions where I can lead renewals, customer success, sales, or operational teams, strengthen retention, and improve scalable business processes.

I lead the People Division Renewals Team at The Access Group, building a newly formed team around customer outcomes, operational discipline, stakeholder alignment, and scalable ways of working.

Previously, I led DACH renewals at Aurea Software, growing my $3.5M book to $5M annually and helping a team manage $15M in revenue. Across sales, procurement, and finance operations, I've delivered savings, improved booking accuracy, strengthened retention, and built client relationships over 15+ years in sales.
