Regional sales leader driving revenue growth in life sciences and IVD diagnostics across EMEA.
What I'm looking for
I am a commercial leader with 15+ years' experience growing revenue across Southern Europe and EMEA in life sciences, IVD diagnostics, molecular biology, and lab equipment. I currently manage a €5.3M portfolio with consistent 15-18% year-over-year growth, lead a distributed sales team, own regional P&L, and deliver measurable results in regulated, physical-product environments.
I have a proven record of building high-performing teams, securing OEM and distribution agreements, improving channel margins, and implementing structured CRM and pipeline governance (Microsoft Dynamics 365, PowerBI). I recruit and develop sales talent, run cross-functional programs with marketing and product teams, and drive customer-base expansion across food safety, pharma QC, and clinical diagnostics verticals.
