Experienced Sales Director – 20+ years’ experience – proven track record of driving and generating extraordinary results. Areas of expertise: Corporate accounts and the public sector – sales management, direct sales, solution selling, service sales and sale of outsourcing services, pipeline management, building processes, structures and procedures around sales excel-lence and sales execution-+20 years’ experience specifically within the information technology and -services industry – enterprise companies, the public sector, major American global companies like Cisco, Nokia and Compuware (blue Chip). Broad technical IT knowledge/overall technical skill, insight and understanding – IT services market, next generation services infrastructure, and application mana-gement outsourcing and hosting business, network, Cloud services, licenses and security- Change management – proven track record of spotting opportunities, developing ideas, setting strategies and driving transformation (incl. digitalization) on all company levels in major companies. To that end, I'd consider myself an innovative and visionary thinker and "smart risks" taker with an innate ability to identify, analyze and effectively balance the need for change within an organization with an understanding of how much change said organization is capable of handling – setting clear and challenging but at the same time realistic goals and implementation plans that are achievable and successful- Definitely a "doer" and consistently hard worker with a strong business- and entrepreneurial mindset and a no-nonsense, hands-on approach. I set goals, push the boundaries, raise the bar and make things happen. I am highly ambitious, and I never give up in the face of challenges. A great deal of my success so far can be put down to a tenacious, steadfast resolve and a relentless commitment to maintaining and raising standards – creating high value and results that benefit the company as a whole
