Why

Why me.

I'm looking for a full-time or part-time permanent role. Until that role is found, I'm available for projects and fixed-term assignments.

01

Technology and sales in one person

I bridge the technical and the sales side of CRM systems: hands-on experience in Salesforce, HubSpot and MS Dynamics 365, plus a background in business development and account management.

A network that comes with me

How

How I work.

Three principles that have proven themselves over years in IT, sales and networking.

01

Start with the data

Understand the data and the process first, then decide. That's what the practice in Salesforce, Power BI and Looker Studio stands for.

Deliver in sprints

Anyone who nurtures contacts for twenty years learns: trust can't be scaled. You have to earn it.

For more than 25 years I've worked where IT meets people — as an IT administrator, Salesforce administrator, CRM project manager, business development manager, and today as a self-employed networking consultant. What has connected all these years is curiosity about processes and joy in relationships.

I'm based in Ulm, married, with one daughter — the steady ground everything else stands on. In my free time I'm out on my Yamaha Virago XV125, and as a LinkedIn partner of ratiopharm ulm (basketball) and SSV Ulm 1846 (football), I follow my hometown's sports scene.

I started as a XING Ambassador in 2005, supporting more than 11,000 group members and 161 meetups — and later continued that work as LinkedIn Local Host Ulm. Networking is a skill trained over two decades.
