Description

I help organizations accelerate commercial results — on an interim or freelance basis.

Engaged as Interim Sales Manager / Sales Director, Sales Enablement Manager, Commercial Excellence Manager, or Sales Effectiveness Manager, I step in when a sales organization needs structure, momentum, or leadership — temporarily and with immediate impact.

With almost 20 years of experience in sales, sales management, and commercial excellence within international organizations, I bring both hands-on execution and strategic oversight: building sales processes, coaching teams, improving pipeline and forecasting accuracy, and translating commercial strategy into daily execution.

Typical mandates:

Bridging a leadership gap during recruitment or transition (interim Sales Manager/Director)

Rebuilding or professionalizing sales processes, pipeline, and forecasting

Sales enablement: tools, training, and onboarding to lift team performance

Commercial excellence projects tied to growth or restructuring

Available for interim and freelance assignments, on-site, hybrid, or remote.
