About Daniel Glese

Strategic and results-driven Sales Professional with 12+ years of international success in the automotive, mobility, industrial tech, and semiconductor sectors. Fluent in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and beginner-level Russian, I lead high-impact commercial strategies across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, consistently delivering $250M+ in managed portfolios and securing multi-year OEM agreements with global Tier 1 and Tier 2 clients. Trained in engineering and finance (MBA), I combine technical fluency with sharp commercial acumen to drive sustainable P&L and EBITDA growth, outperform sales targets, and lead cross-functional global teams (10+ across 3 continents) in complex negotiations, CRM optimization (Salesforce, HubSpot), and customer success execution. Known for transforming stagnant accounts into growth engines and penetrating new markets through data-driven deal structuring, C-suite engagement, and a firm grasp of electrification, hydrogen, and next-gen mobility trends. I specialize in contract negotiation, B2B SaaS and hardware sales cycles, global supply chain orchestration, and strategic M&A planning to build shareholder value. As a persuasive communicator and confident leader, I thrive in high-stakes negotiations, create high-trust partnerships, and inspire high-performance teams. Whether scaling a global sales operation or building key verticals from the ground up, I bring the clarity, speed, and precision required to deliver measurable impact.
