About Kai Wenz

As a seasoned Sales Operations expert, with 25+ years in the Outdoor Industry, I've built a proven track record of transforming sales operations for continuous improvement and growth. I possess deep expertise in ERP systems (SAP S4 hana and Navision/Microsoft AX) and successful project management of Elastic Suite implementation (2023-2024), and leading a seamless SAP S4 Hana implementation at Jack Wolfskin (2019-2021). I have consistently exceeded expectations in team management, Customer Service, inventory management, sales reporting, data analysis and master data management which is complemented by a keen eye for process improvement. My dedication to efficiency, reliability, accuracy, integrity, transparency and open communication is evident in my ability to navigate challenging situations with dignity. A strong leader with experience managing multi-national teams, I excel at providing clear guidance and mentorship. I'm adept at navigating complex situations with composure and clear communication, as evidenced by my successful presentations to local boards, Group Executives, and larger audiences. Beyond operations, I bring a deep understanding of the Outdoor industry. I've been part of successful sales events (trade shows, Retail openings) and developed a strong product knowledge of apparel, backpacks, tents, and technical footwear.
