About Zarko
Global supply chain transitions and complex business migrations are high-risk phases where customer trust and revenue are most vulnerable. Without structured execution, companies face not only operational delays but also client attrition, margin erosion, and pricing conflicts.
I specialize in leading cross-border business migrations and Strategic Key Account Management, ensuring revenue continuity and long-term partnership stability during critical transformation phases. Acting as the primary commercial and operational link between EMEA, APAC, and Americas, I bridge the gap between high-level strategy and daily execution.
Commercial & Operational Expertise:
• Revenue & Margin Protection: Safeguarding inter-regional profitability and ensuring seamless contract renewals during transitions.
• Key Account Strategy: Managing complex customer portfolios (focusing on pricing, backlog, and margin health) to prevent disruption.
• Stakeholder Orchestration: Aligning Sales, Supply Chain, and Finance to ensure customer satisfaction remains the top priority.
• Systems & Data Intelligence: Navigating ERP/Salesforce ecosystems to resolve discrepancies and automate reporting for high-level visibility.
• Field Engagement: Combining remote management with strategic site visits to align regional sales hubs with global growth targets.
Currently managing global portfolios impacting €80M+ annually, I ensure that even the most complex migrations result in uninterrupted deliveries and strengthened client relationships.
Open to Global B2B collaborations with industry leaders in:
• Strategic Key Account Management & Renewals
• Global Business Migrations & Production Transfers
• Regional Expansion & Supply Chain Stabilization
