Senior marketing & business development manager driving brand growth through digital strategy and commercial partnerships.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior marketing and business development professional with over 15 years of experience shaping marketing strategy, brand management, and digital growth. I’ve built repeatable plans that align marketing with business objectives and translate insights into measurable results.
As Responsible of Marketing Department at K-AKS shpk (2017–Present), I define and implement company-wide marketing strategies, manage brand positioning and digital presence, and oversee performance to optimize ROI. I coordinate closely with sales, product, and external partners, ensuring campaigns connect directly to commercial activity.
Before that, I served as General Manager – Administration & Accounting Department at K-AKS shpk (05/2014–09/2017), where I managed AP/AR, billing and invoicing, monthly and year-end financial closing, and international transaction processes. Earlier, as an Accountant in Transport & Logistics, I handled payroll, tax compliance, reconciliations, and operational cost control, while coordinating shipping and logistics documentation.
My operational background also includes General Manager – Medical Gases Sector at G.T.S shpk (06/2009–05/2010), combining strategic leadership with product management, regulatory compliance, and quality/process optimization. I bring a trade-marketing mindset, a finance-aware approach to planning, and a strong focus on partnerships, communication, and execution.
