Summary

Signed has a large knowledge in the food industry with more 20 years’ experience. I have been in sales since 2004, starting as a district Sales Manager. Leading a sales department was a natural development, because I am a strong Team player. "Success is when the team reaches the goal together." Basic education is automatic mechanic, that’s where I gained solid knowledge about technique and mechanical solutions. I primarily sell technical solutions and systems to the food sector. Good sales go both ways, and that ensures long-term relationship with customers. "Knowledge and trust are the key elements in sales." Today Placed on garden leave by mutual agreement as of December 2024 due to organizational reconstruction. I am open to work and looking for a team that needs a strong open minded leader. "I take pride in performing my job well and achieving the company's targets. It is essential that everyone understands that reaching the final goal is a team effort."
