My Mission & Passion
“Discovering, exploring, and tapping into new markets and target groups: that is my mission—for SMEs, in sales and marketing, at home and abroad. As an enabler, I encourage and empower companies to achieve their growth goals—on the sales front, behind the scenes as a sparring partner for CSOs, CMOs, and CEOs, or even in an interim executive role.”
And the word “customer” is contained in “explore.” Finding out the goals, needs, and problems of our clients’ existing or potential customers: that is my passion – with empathy, a systematic approach, and sound judgment.
Discovering, exploring, and pursuing new goals and paths together has always driven me – whether in my youth with the Scouts, later on the Way of St. James, or today in growth projects with companies.
