Methodology
As a physicist with a PhD my methodology is characterised by analytic, structured and strategic practices. I have a holistic view on sales: not only within the company context and interaction with other departments, but also considering the market perspective and anticipation of customer needs.
Active listening as well as empathy for the view of others determine my interaction with people. I consider mutual understanding and consensus building as elementary for our success.
I work with passion in a targeted and solution-oriented way.
