🔸Digitally native growth leader 🔸 with international experience from working in Europe, the US, Latin America, and China.
I'm motivated by opportunities to drive growth, change or transformation.
Having worked within leadership, sales, and consultancy roles for the last 15+ years, I am available as an interim executive, Executive-as-a-Service, or consultant to help companies find new sources for growth and execute strategic initiatives hands-on.
My specialties are:
✅ Digitalization and the disruptive opportunities it presents to companies and industries
✅ Leading growth and transformation
✅ Driving business value with emerging technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence, machine learning, cryptocurrencies, blockchain, augmented reality, mixed reality, internet of things)
✅ Leading and developing customer experience, sales and marketing in the post-digital era
