About Mike

Looking for someone who doesn't just think about sales, but actively drives it? Then you've come to the right place.

I bring 16 years of B2B sales experience, including over a decade at Brown-Forman Germany in On-Trade sales for brands like Jack Daniel's, Gin Mare, and Botucal Rum. Acquisition, special acquisition, customer care, negotiation, sales promotion, and project budgeting were part of my daily business.

Since 2026, I have been running my own company (Brand: Biowein Iberia) with HKF Feine Dinge Handels UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & Co. KG, and I am fully responsible for sales, customer service, back office, and project management, in both B2B trade and direct end-customer business.

What sets me apart: I build lasting customer relationships, not just transactions that count.

What I can do for you:
- Sales & Acquisition, including Special Acquisition
- Customer Service & Account Management
- Back Office & Administrative Project Processing
- Project Management & Budgeting

On-site projects are also possible, within a radius of approximately 150 km around Hamburg at no extra charge, and across Europe upon agreement.
