About me

am a freelance Business Developer with a strong and diverse expertise in the small molecule pharmaceutical industry, in cell, gene, tissue therapies, as well as medical devices and software solutions.

My background in molecular biology and experience as a team lead in the pharma sector, with a focus on method validation and software data integrity, has contributed to my in-depth understanding of the industry. I also demonstrated a keen ability to train and coach multiple salespeople across different language areas and regions with success.

In addition to my proficiency in the life science domain, I possess skills in marketing and executing successful digital campaigns. My knowledge of sales CRM software tools allows me to strategize and optimize sales processes effectively. I possess a strong knowledge of how to accelerate sales through digital tools. My proficiency in leveraging these tools allows me to stay ahead in the fast-paced business landscape, fostering success and growth for the organizations I work with. Furthermore, my IT proficiency enables me to leverage IT sales tools efficiently, enhancing overall business performance.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I nurture a passion for agriculture, cultivating my own vegetables, and have a profound love for plants. My culinary interests have led me to explore the art of cooking, while my dedication to personal well-being is evident through my commitment to fitness and regular gym attendance. The balance I maintain between my professional endeavors and personal interests shows my harmonious approach to life, embracing both the yin and yang aspects.
