Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I excel in developing and implementing business strategies that elevate companies. With over 10 years of experience in commercial roles at executive level, I combine sharp strategic insight with a strong passion for marketing and sales. This makes me an all-round partner for organizations looking to grow, transform, or strengthen their commercial capabilities.

My strength lies in critically engaging with executive and management teams: I ask the right questions, bring new perspectives, and translate vision into concrete action plans. I help companies redesign their commercial structures, optimize processes, and build a scalable market position. Additionally, I bring creativity and energy to marketing, ensuring that strategy is effectively translated into visible market results.

Whether it's accelerating sales, strengthening brand and marketing, or guiding transformation projects, I provide clarity, structure, and proven impact.

Companies and executive teams engage me as an expert consultant and sparring partner when real progress needs to be made. Flexible, independent, and results-oriented, I make a difference, both at boardroom level and in day-to-day execution.
