Profile

Enterprise sales professional with 7+ years in B2B sales, C-level closing and international rollout (DACH, France, Portugal, Belgium, USA). The rarity in AI sales: I don't just sell the technology, I build it. I shipped a Claude-API SaaS end-to-end, my own multi-agent system boosts my outbound efficiency by 25%, and I know the EU AI Act from practice. Technical buyers trust me because I speak their language — commercial ones because I run the ROI.

Career path

From toolmaker to AI sales
