About

I build and scale commercial organizations from the operating model up. Over 20 years in B2B SaaS and enterprise technology, leading revenue teams across DACH, EMEA, and APAC.

My focus is on what actually makes sales organizations work: segmentation, GTM architecture, compensation design, forecasting cadence, partner channels, team structure and cohesion. Built from scratch, restructured mid-flight, scaled across direct and indirect motions.

I've built sales structures inside large organizations and, in parallel, scaled an independent brand without external funding across more than 15 countries. That combination of institutional discipline and entrepreneurial accountability shapes how I approach commercial challenges.

I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution: direct, structured, calm under pressure. I build teams that perform predictably, not just in strong quarters.
