Senior B2B Account Executive with 5+ years closing SaaS and expansion deals across EMEA.
What I'm looking for
I’m a B2B Sales Executive / Senior Account Executive with 5+ years of full-cycle closing across EMEA in SaaS, mobility, telecom, and tech. I’ve been a proven quota-carrier, generating EUR 1M+ in new business and expansion revenue through outbound prospecting, pipeline development, and consultative selling.
I’ve scaled greenfield territories from EUR 0 to EUR 95K MRR in 9 months and managed a 1,000+ enterprise account portfolio with 95% SLA compliance, using discovery, multi-stakeholder navigation, and champion-led co-selling to shorten sales cycles. I bring 3 years in Salesforce and experience with HubSpot and Close IO, building repeatable outbound motions and enablement playbooks while positioning competitively with MEDDIC and QBR cadences.
