I help B2B companies build outbound engines that generate real, qualified pipeline, not just "leads," but conversations that turn into deals. Over 10+ years in business development, I've built lead generation and outbound sales functions from scratch three times, for both early-stage startups with no sales process at all and enterprise clients billing ~$25K/month. I've done this across DACH, UK, Nordic, and US markets, engaging C-level and senior decision-makers directly. What I actually do: ✅ Build the outbound engine: define your ICP, set up multi-channel outreach (email, LinkedIn, targeted prospecting), and get qualified meetings booked: currently averaging 10+ per month, consistently progressing to real deal stages. ✅ Run the full sales cycle: prospecting, qualification, discovery calls, negotiation, and close, not just handing off leads and disappearing. ✅ Set up the infrastructure to last: CRM structure, campaign tracking, and messaging that keeps improving instead of going stale after month one. ℹ️ Background: IBM sales training (Global Sales School), a decade across SaaS, IT services, and B2B markets more broadly, and hands-on fluency with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Apollo, lemlist, LGM Sales Navigator, and AI-assisted prospecting tools. 🤝 If you need someone who can walk into a market with nothing and leave with a working pipeline, that's what I do.

I run technical programs, the kind with multiple workstreams, external vendors, and stakeholders who don't naturally agree. Enterprise integrations, platform rollouts, transformation initiatives. 17+ years leading delivery, Executive MBA, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Most project managers run a backlog. I own the outcome: scope, dependencies, risk, and the uncomfortable conversations that keep a program on schedule. Where I add the most value: → Multi-team delivery — aligning engineering, compliance, client success and external partners on one date → System & platform integrations — enterprise-grade, spec-driven, compliance layer handled → Structure into chaos — taking a stalled program or an unclear roadmap and making it legible and shippable → Scale-up operations — building the process, reporting and governance backbone that growth requires Recent and ongoing projects include: 🏦 Banking Integration Program — enterprise communications provider. Cross-functional delivery across engineering, compliance and client success for regulated financial institutions. 🚗 Automotive SaaS (Switzerland) — end-to-end product and delivery ownership for a fleet management platform: telemetry data modeling, vehicle diagnostics, iOS/Android. 🎓 COO / General Manager, EdTech — full operational ownership: remote ops, growth, team leadership across international markets. ✈️ Digital Transformation, German Air Force Officer School — enterprise-wide blended-learning framework, from concept to rollout. Track record: - Secured €500,000 in pre-seed funding by turning a technical roadmap into an investor-ready proposition - Led enterprise-wide digital transformation inside a government/defense organization - 10+ years as an Officer in the German Armed Forces — leading programs and teams of 150+ in multinational, high-consequence environments - Founded InsightQuiz.de — GDPR-compliant SaaS for corporate L&D, built and shipped end to end Methods & tools: Agile · Scrum · Kanban · Lean Six Sigma · Multi-team coordination | Jira · Confluence · Asana · HubSpot · SAP ERP German (native) · English (fluent) · French (basic) · CET — full overlap with EU, mornings with US East Coast If your program has more moving parts than owners, that's the problem I solve. Send me the messy version — you'll get a plan back.

🚫 Avoid Costly Miscommunication and Poor Results On Upwork, many so-called “freelancers” are really project managers handling too many projects at once. They don’t do the work themselves, and worse, they often don’t even understand the work they’re managing. That means the “specialists” behind the scenes are often not true specialists at all—because if the manager doesn’t know the craft, they can’t ensure quality. The result? Confusion, delays, and outcomes that miss the mark—while you end up paying more. I’m different. I went through years of hands-on work, personally delivering 50+ successful projects and earning over $200k on Upwork alone—plus more outside the platform. Because I’ve done so much work by myself, I understand both the technical execution and the business goals—ensuring nothing gets lost in translation. Today, I still stay hands-on in my projects, but not alone—my clients and projects have grown too big for a one-person operation. I now collaborate with a trusted team and work with extremely high efficiency, so clients benefit from both clarity and speed without the typical overhead of project-manager setups. I help businesses transform their digital presence and streamline operations through a unique blend of custom web development and AI-powered automation. ⚡ What I Do 🚀 Web Development – High-quality WordPress & Webflow websites, tailored for performance, scalability, and design excellence 🤖 AI Automation – Streamlining workflows with Zapier, Make, n8n, and custom scripting. I integrate GPT-based AI into business processes—saving time, cutting costs, and boosting efficiency 🔗 Integrations & Systems – Connecting CRMs, email marketing, project management tools, and databases into seamless, automated systems 🛒 E-Commerce Solutions – WooCommerce, Shopify, and custom setups with focus on conversions and usability 💡 Why Clients Hire Me ✅ Proven reliability – 100% Job Success and Top Rated Plus badge 🧩 Full-stack value – I deliver end-to-end, from concept and design to automation and integration 📊 Business mindset – Not just code, but solutions that bring measurable ROI and long-term scalability 🚀 Future-ready – Whether it’s building a website or automating workflows, I use AI-powered tools to give my clients a competitive edge 📌 Clients I Work With 🏢 SaaS companies looking for scalable web + automation solutions 🤝 Agencies needing workflow optimization and reliable white-label execution 💡 Entrepreneurs who want professional websites enhanced by smart automation Let’s build something that works for you today—and scales for tomorrow.
