Introduction

I scale B2B SaaS businesses and turn growth plans into revenue reality. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve led sales and revenue teams across Europe and APAC, consistently delivering double-digit ARR growth. From building PlayPlay’s sales engine and doubling revenue in under a year, to expanding LinkedIn’s Talent Solutions in France by 50% YoY, to growing Zei’s ARR by 64% in 12 months — my track record is about making ambitious goals tangible. What sets me apart is the blend of global leadership and people-first coaching. I’ve built and scaled teams from 0→100, launched GTM strategies across EMEA & APAC, and developed partner ecosystems that unlocked new markets. I believe any business is ultimately a people game: when teams are coached, empowered, and aligned, they don’t just hit quota — they outperform. That’s why I invest as much in building cultures of trust and performance as in pipeline and playbooks. Beyond the numbers, I care deeply about impact and transformation. As a certified coach and podcast host, I explore how people unlock their potential and lead meaningful change. I’m passionate about ESG and driving sustainable growth that benefits businesses and society. Whether scaling SaaS revenue or championing diversity and inclusion, my motivation is the same: helping people and organizations achieve more than they thought possible.
