What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in sales and business development within the renewable energy sector, with a focus on innovative projects and a collaborative company culture.

With over fourteen years of experience in the photovoltaic industry, I have honed my skills as a key account manager and business developer. My journey has taken me across Europe, particularly in Germany and Italy, where I have built a robust network of customers and sales partners. My expertise lies in acquiring and supporting key customers, ensuring their needs are met while driving sales growth.

In my recent role as a Freelance Sales Manager at Runda Solar, I have been able to leverage my extensive background to develop innovative strategies that enhance market penetration. Previously, I served as an Associate Business Developer at Quantonics Crystal, where I played a pivotal role in raising capital and increasing sales for cutting-edge materials in the photovoltaic sector. My experience also includes significant contributions to the electric vehicle market, where I was involved in developing solar-powered electric trikes for European and Asian markets.
