I grow international B2B revenue through key accounts, partnerships, pricing, and channel strategy.
What I'm looking for
I've led global retail, high-end residential, reseller, and e-commerce sales at STEPEVI across London, Paris, Milan, New York, Munich, and Türkiye.
I managed strategic partnerships with Roche Bobois, Christine Kröncke, and Curio Space, while leading an 18-person team across retail, designer, reseller, and e-commerce channels. I also coordinated fulfilment with production and logistics teams and used market benchmarking to guide commercial decisions.
At VitrA, I managed regional marketing and international project sales for Germany and Germanic markets, securing supplier status with three leading hotel groups and contributing to a 30% sales uplift. Earlier at Şişecam Paşabahçe Glassware, I increased UK sales by 25% through pricing and negotiation and supported a 20% market-share increase through new product development.
I'm comfortable building B2B growth across EMEA, the UK, Europe, and the USA in remote, international, fast-moving environments. My work spans key accounts, commercial negotiation, pricing, regional marketing, channel management, and cross-functional delivery.
