What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Senior Field Sales Executive role in Audit & Assurance focused on risk and compliance, such as the Wolters Kluwer / TAA TeamMate position in Garching bei München.

At MetricStream, I owned net-new enterprise market development across DACH for GRC, cyber risk, third-party risk management, and cybersecurity SaaS. I managed complex sales engagements valued at $100k–$500k ACV and translated technical proposals into business risk-reduction metrics.

At Taskbase, I lead enterprise software sales cycles across the DACH region, from prospecting and discovery to proposals and new-logo wins. Earlier, at Unique Germany GmbH, I closed enterprise AI platform accounts including KPMG and Swisscom, working with C-suite, risk, compliance, legal, and procurement stakeholders.
