What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my sales expertise in sustainable technologies while fostering strong client relationships and driving business growth.

With over 20 years of experience in sales and 9 years in international business development, I have honed my skills in promoting sustainable technologies across diverse markets. Living in Finland for the past 15 years, I have successfully introduced Finnish products and technologies to African and South American markets, demonstrating my commitment to client satisfaction and business growth.

My roles have included serving as a Regional Business Development Manager at Doranova Oy, where I introduced innovative waste-to-power and soil remediation technologies. Additionally, I have worked as a Business Development Manager at Haarla Oy, focusing on advanced fiber recovery technologies in the paper and pulp industry. My entrepreneurial spirit has driven me to establish and manage retail stores in Cape Town, achieving the highest sales growth percentage in my region.
