Tipped

If I was still a VP of Sales, I'd use Tipped to find my sales team hires. 

Simply put; I've founded a company to use my experience building Series A-D SaaS companies to ensure our clients hire the best possible people they can.

My methods will ensure that startups & scaleups make derisked hiring decisions by having me and my team of ex-SaaS executives to rely on to pre-select the best profiles for consideration and we personally interview every single candidate before it hits our clients.

If you're a tech company, we'll hire your Sales/Account Executive | Customer Success/Account Managers | Marketing | Operations | Product & Engineering | VP Sales | CROs

We cover all regions. EMEA | US | APAC.

Talk to us for a true talent partnership that you can count on for the long term. We find people who are 'Tipped' for Success.

Why am I building a recruitment company? The industry needed it.

Floada

Didn’t plan for this, but the opportunity was too good to pass up (team, market, product, timing).

Floada uses AI to prevent cost and revenue leakage from contract data. 

Our platform recovers lost value by automating insights and actions, helping organizations boost profitability and streamline operations.

Co-Founder & Head of Sales

Pioneer Sales

Worked with early-stage SaaS founders to get their sales motion off the ground, combining hands-on selling, advising, sparring, and laying the foundation for a sales operation.

(Mandates included products in the community space, procurement, DevOps, customer service, and executive coaching)

Also, I wrote two free ebooks on some core business and sales philosophy (and lifestyle design) principles, that were downloaded by a few hundred people.

Sales Advisor

BetterUp

Again, part of the region's first sales team—this time for a topic very dear to my heart. Learned lots about the science behind peak performance and well-being.

Closed six-figure deals and reached 87% of my top 15 enterprise accounts, building an $8M pipeline. Also trained teams on business writing and initiated a strategic partnership.

Sr. Enterprise Account Executive

Unbabel

In charge of EMEA Retail (grew by 6x), then DACH pod (grew by 10x to $2M+). Closed 6-7 figure deals with international enterprises. Responsible for +18% of active company revenue when I left.

Streamlined CoEs for large companies, increasing efficiency. Managed a small headcount.

Top AE (Global) - 2021

Pod Leader / Sales Manager

Through my experience at HeyRide, I was trusted to work on large accounts from day one—also because I was the most experienced German-speaking rep (though I started with Retail vertical first).

Enterprise Account Executive

Groupon

Needed $ after HeyRide failed. Hit my numbers, trained teams in business writing, part of some innovation initiatives.

Sr. Account Executive

Hey Ride

Worked alongside a mentor, a former campaign manager for the NY governor. It taught me the scrappy startup hustle, building, and surviving on Burger King’s €5 daily deals.

Joining an accelerator at that age taught me more than college, so I dropped out for a bit. I also lost any fear of big-company execs by mingling with them as regular people.

We experimented a lot, but in the end, too many issues led us to shut it down.

Commercial Co-Founder

BILD

Started as an intern, then brought back for freelance gigs. In hindsight, an incredible school for sales. Tabloid journalism may get laughs, but this kind of writing that captures millions of readers is a true life skill.

Journalist

1st Sales Lead for early-stage AI startups. Main focus right now is on Procurement.

Companies are losing up to 9% of contract value without realizing it. Floada finds hidden leaks and automates fixes—recovering lost revenue and stopping overcharges across your entire contract portfolio.

Seamlessly integrates with shared drives, ERP, procurement, and finance tools to help leaders hit their targets.

Built by former DocuSign product developers with a long history of building AI-powered agreement analytics solutions.

—

My background in communication management—particularly journalism and PR—characterizes my approach to sales, coupled with an excitement for the 0-to-1 process and its strategic and tactical maneuvers.

Originally from northern Germany, I have also spent extended periods in the United States, Portugal, and Brazil.
