About Me:
I'm predominantly pragmatic & focused on results by nature, but at the same time I happen to be on the extreme side of creativity & have the ability to see solutions to problems where others can't.
I possess the ability to persist and persevere in difficulties, while learning new things in the process. This allows me to solve problems in changing environments and adapt to changes quickly.
What I'm looking for in my work life:
I'm passionate about building and growing products that matter and have a real social mission. Engineering, automobiles, renewable energy, robotics, space tech and technical products excite me. Anything that involves engineering & machinery is exciting for me.
In the people I work with, I look for openness that can match mine. I'd like to work with people that have strong integrity and a strong moral compass. I prefer honesty, transparency, and clear communication.

I’m Rangel Stoenchev - an International Business Development Executive and Co-Founder of MaRRan, with 8+ years of experience scaling B2B companies across Europe, Latin America, the Balkans, and the Middle East.
My background combines strategic insight with field-tested execution. I’ve led export sales, built distributor networks, managed cross-border operations, and represented brands at trade shows. Whether working with global manufacturers and businesses, I focus on what matters most: sustainable revenue growth and market traction.
At MaRRan, I help companies expand into the European market by acting as their outsourced sales, marketing, and business development department. Instead of hiring multiple roles, clients get a fully operational team - ready to identify leads, activate partners, optimize CRMs, and close deals.
What I Bring:
- B2B Growth & Export Sales
- End-to-end sales strategy, activation & follow-up
- Distributor development, pricing models & forecasting
- CRM structuring for performance, not just reporting
- Market Expansion & Localization
- Entry strategies tailored to industry, culture & region
- Full cycle: from market research to operational setup
- External rep for trade shows, fairs & key client meetings
- Strategic Representation
- High-level negotiation with buyers & partners
- External communication with measurable KPIs
- Trusted brand ambassador with international presence
If you're looking for someone who understands both the boardroom and the frontlines - someone who can think, execute, and represent your business like it’s his own - let's talk.
Let’s grow your business the smart way: structured, scalable, and global.
Available for strategic projects, long-term partnerships, or full-cycle sales outsourcing.
