I have the privelege and extensive experience from a career in sales leading positions in the forefront of technology that changes the way we do business. I'm a results driven business professional with extensive experience in sales and sales management, with an exceptional track record, both from the Swedish market and on an international level in large enterprise as well as high growth IT/Telecom business.
My success is built on a combination of passion for business and technology, my ability to lead teams towards high set goals, my curiosity and my endeavor to constantly develop my skills and knowledge. With a strong results focus, financial acumen and clear structure and prioritization I have successfully turned sales organizations around and created strong YoY growth.
I'm described as a person that rapidly builds trust and is highly supportive, enabling me to be both challenging and direct, encouraging people out of their comfort zone as well as inspiring and energizing them to fulfill their full potential. Furthermore, I'm perceived as a passionate, knowledgable and driven person with a positive attitude that makes it easy for me to team up and engage with clients, partners and colleagues on all levels.
I'm deeply passionate about how cloud, big data & analytics and mobile are transforming the structure of the global economy and the nature of business.
