As a referral-focused sales trainer and commercial leader, I help founders and sales teams build pipeline through trust – not pressure.

With 15+ years in B2C and B2B sales, I bring hands-on experience across the full sales cycle: from outbound strategy and qualification, to value-driven discovery, closing, and structured deal management. I’m process-oriented, pragmatic, and focused on what actually works in the field.

Today, I train ambitious teams to win more business, and support founders and scale-ups as a fractional sales leader – with clear priorities, better systems, and measurable impact.

As the host of the Go To Network podcast, I share weekly sales insights from real-world challenges – honest, tactical, and always close to the real work.

Curious by nature and driven by outcomes, I believe that better sales comes from clarity, accountability, and continuous learning.

Hello there!
I'm a commercially driven leader with over a decade of experience in B2B sales leadership, demand generation, and digital sales transformation. Proven track record in building and scaling cross-functional teams, aligning sales and marketing efforts, and driving sustainable pipeline growth across diverse markets with the extensive use of AI.
Currently serving as VP Growth at a Bertelsmann-affiliated company, I lead GTM strategy, inside sales, and campaign operations. My focus is on designing scalable sales structures, integrating digital tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot), and optimizing conversions across the funnel. My leadership approach is people-first, performance-oriented, and rooted in operational clarity.
My Academic background includes a Master’s in Organizational & Business Psychology with a focus on Agile Leadership and Change Management, complementing a foundation in Media & Communication Studies.
Beyond business, I advocate for mental health awareness at work, including co-hosting a podcast on leadership and critical transitions.
