## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to apply my DACH enterprise sales experience to complex SaaS, Data & AI, or cloud opportunities, combining new-business development, strategic account growth, executive discovery, and multi-stakeholder deal leadership.
```

## About

```text
I've spent 16+ years closing complex B2B technology, Enterprise SaaS, Data & AI, and cloud opportunities across DACH. I work in German and English, translating technical capabilities into measurable business outcomes for enterprise stakeholders.

At HubSpot, I managed roughly 300 Corporate DACH accounts across net-new acquisition and customer growth, selling Marketing Hub and related solutions. I led discovery through close, self-generated around 40% of pipeline, and maintained approximately 95% weekly forecast accuracy.

At Nitro Software, I owned Enterprise SaaS sales against a €450K quarterly target, achieved 108% of FY2024 quota, and earned President's Club. I closed €100K+ ACV wins with organisations including Roche, Festo, Andritz, and OMV, navigating multi-stakeholder evaluations across IT, Security, Procurement, Legal, Finance, and business teams.

At Microsoft, I secured a €380K Data & AI project while selling cloud, analytics, and digital-transformation solutions to DACH industrial and manufacturing accounts. Earlier, I drove €1.9M+ in revenue from Deutsche Telekom through strategic account growth and enterprise relationship management.
