Summary

International Business Development & Sales Leader | Driving Growth & Strategic Partnerships | Low Carbon & Energy Efficiency Expertise | Co-Founder @ Karbocarma. I am a senior business development and sales professional with 20 years of international experience, building strong commercial relationships and driving revenue growth across energy, technology, and sustainability sectors. My core strength lies in relationship selling: identifying opportunities, opening new markets, and closing strategic deals by connecting with decision-makers and partners at all levels. I have consistently delivered growth in highly competitive and international environments, from London’s trading floors to projects in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. What I bring: - Proven track record in business development and sales across complex B2B markets. - Strong ability to open doors, build trust, and convert relationships into long-term partnerships. - Expertise in structuring commercial strategies, negotiating high-value contracts, and scaling new business lines. - International mindset, with experience leading projects across multiple regions and cultures. While my background includes years in Media & Energy, my real driver is commercial growth. I thrive where new markets are being built and where strong sales execution makes the difference. I am now looking for the next challenge in business development and sales leadership, also beyond the energy sector, where I can create impact by combining my commercial acumen with a deep understanding of global markets.
