I build Latin American sales growth across renewable energy, medical technology, and agriculture.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I've built sales and business development strategies across Latin America in renewable energy, medical technology, agriculture, and energy technology. I put customers at the centre of my work, listening closely and turning insights into tailored solutions.
At Solarbau Colombia, I delivered 15 solar projects of up to 200 kWp while leading market analysis, customer acquisition, tender management, procurement, negotiations, and project delivery.
At Zellag, I achieved nearly 2,000% revenue growth within two years and expanded sustainable distribution partner relationships across the Andean region. Earlier, as General Manager at Berlin Medical, I created 10 new jobs and won a public tender worth approximately USD 150,000 from Colombia's largest hospital.
Most recently, I've strengthened sales processes, partner communication, product acceptance, and local sales-team capability in energy systems. I bring experience across the full sales cycle, from strategy and market analysis through quotation, contract conclusion, training, forecasting, and account management.
