About Bruno

You've just raised your Series A or B. Now comes the hard part: building a sales engine that actually works in EMEA.

That's exactly what I do; as a Fractional VP of Sales, I embed with fast-growing tech companies at the moment they need to move from founder-led sales to a structured, scalable revenue operation.

In practice, that means: designing your GTM strategy, defining your ICP and sales playbook, hiring and onboarding your first sales reps, opening key markets across EMEA, and owning the number until your permanent VP is in place or indefinitely, if fractional is the right model for your stage.

What I bring that most sales consultants can't:

- 15 years of B2B revenue leadership across Telecom, Fintech, and high-growth environments, including a $25M P&L and a $50M enterprise portfolio with 30% YoY growth.

- Fluency in 5 languages (English, French, Turkish, Italian, Portuguese) — so I can sell, negotiate, and build relationships across EMEA without losing anything in translation.

- A track record of tripling revenue, building teams from scratch, and navigating the complexity of multi-country sales cycles in markets where trust is the real currency.

I work on a project or retainer basis, typically engaging for 3–12 months depending on your needs.
