About Alexandra

Scale-up & Technical Sales Orchestration: Where Engineering Precision Meets Surfers Drive
Are you looking for someone to just "manage" sales, or someone to build the engine that scales your technology?
As a Master of Engineering and seasoned sales leader (ex-Senvion, SkySails), I operate at the intersection of high-stakes technology and uncompromising market success. My mission as a freelance consultant and interim manager: Transforming deep-tech innovation into bankable, scalable sales models.
Why me? The Synergy of Structure and High-Performance Energy
1. Engineering Precision in B2B Sales:
With over 10 years in wind energy and robotics, I speak the language of your engineers and your customers fluently. Whether it is offshore wind assets, carbon removal strategies, or culinary robotics—I understand the mechanics behind the product. I don't build "castles in the air"; I build sales playbooks based on technical integrity and measurable value propositions.
2. The Kitesurf Drive for Your Business:
As an experienced Kitesurfer, I know what it means to maintain absolute focus in extreme environments, calculate risks in real-time, and commit to the "take-off" when it counts. I bring this exact drive to your company: I am an "Activator" who doesn’t just start things but pulls them across the finish line with high resilience. When the market gets stormy, I navigate your team toward the closing.
3. Leadership & Orchestration:
Sales is a team sport. My strength lies in motivating multidisciplinary teams, orchestrating complex processes (from lead-gen to high-stakes contract negotiation), and establishing a high-ownership culture. I help you set up strategic partnerships and empower your team so that growth is no longer a coincidence, but a system.
My Service Portfolio:
• Interim Sales Leadership: Building and leading your regional or global sales organization.
• Go-To-Market for Deep-Tech: Launching young, highly complex products into conservative markets.
