Summary

"There is nothing permanent except change." - Heraclitus

I am a dedicated Area Sales Manager offering an extensive background in sales management, customer service, and relationship development. Excellent industrial automation, problem-solving, and communication skills. Adept at creating and executing successful sales strategies. Highly motivated and organized professional with a record of consistently achieving sales quotas.

Change and transformation shape our lives. These two themes, mentioned by Heraclitus long time ago, drive me - both professionally and personally. Every day, I embrace the challenge of keeping pace with the ever-evolving world around us. On a professional level, I am keen on staying informed about current trends and developments across a diverse spectrum. Industry 4.0, automation, and robotics are areas with the potential to further enhance the efficiency of your production. Supporting my clients in extracting the best from existing opportunities is of utmost importance to me. Initiating changes that meet the challenges of our time.

On the personal front, change is predominantly driven by my daughter. My daily routine is much more externally influenced than I could have anticipated. However, this shared time also serves as a learning experience and propels my growth. Weekends in the woods allow me to unwind, and her constant demands enhance my resilience.
