Summary

I am a full-Stack marketer with can-do attitude - thinking strategically and acting entrepreneurially, being data-driven, creative and resourceful. During my professional life I have been working in marketing and communications roles in agencies, enterprises and start-up situations, in different functions with global and regional responsibilities and covering direct and indirect routes-to-market. My broad range of experience includes strategy development and execution, lead and demand generation as well as pipeline acceleration campaigns, brand building through awareness, preference and thought leadership activities, digital marketing, PPC, social media marketing, always-on programs, content marketing, channel and field marketing, account-based marketing, events, influencer marketing (Media Relations, Analyst Relations, Capital Market Communication), product marketing, corporate and product communication as well as events. In channel and partner marketing I have developed and executed partner marketing campaigns - sell- with campaigns with key partners, sell-through and programmatic with smaller partners in parallel to ongoing engagement. I am used to be measured against pipeline contribution, hence defining KPI and measuring all activities against these metrics has been at the core of my thinking. For running, measuring and reporting activities I have acquired a strong understanding of CRM, marketing automation and analytics tools (SFDC, Marketo). With decades in the ICT market I not only have acquired a strong understanding of the industry and trends, but still have a genuine passion and curiosity for (technology) innovation and its impact on business and society.
