About me
I am very hands on as I have developed several start-up companies in the last few years and I have over 30 years of B2B sales & marketing experience. I speak fluent English, German and Spanish and worked for German companies in the UK, also worked for UK companies in Austria and Spain.

I am known for enhancing overall performance through technology upgrades, advanced employee training, and implementation of best practices.
