What I'm looking for

I’m looking to help founders and leadership teams strengthen their commercial setup, refine positioning, or accelerate growth through digital transformation.

At BOUTIQXCEL INC., I help founders and leadership teams connect digital transformation and AI business strategies with commercial excellence. I translate complex technical B2B offers into clear user benefits and actionable commercial use cases.

At KION Group, I spearheaded the launch of the Linde e-commerce shop in Germany and led pricing and product portfolio management for the STILL shop. Multi-channel initiatives there increased annual revenue from €600K to €1.4M in one year.

As Chief Marketing Officer at Nexxiot, I repositioned and rebranded the company, built its Product Marketing organization, and set up its global marketing organization. Earlier, I helped grow zanox’s revenue from €107M to €367M and established its global positioning and brand strategy.
