About

I am excited to innovate, drive improvement every day in whatever I do always starting from inside out. I enjoy the intellectual challenge of solving complex problems. I deeply believe people are the fundamental assets to any business. I keep learning every day. I was doing B2B sales in the networked IT/Telecommunications sector for most of my professional career. Starting as an account manager in the local Telco incumbent selling ISDN I gradually worked myself up selling the broad portfolio of the Telekom Group to the most strategic accounts. This journey gave me the opportunity to lead several sales teams and learn what effective sales management and also people management is about. After almost 14 years at Hungarian Telekom I was headhunted to BT to lead the Central Eastern Europe region sales team. BT gave me the opportunity to extend my skills in large deal sales to the international level. Having spent he first 2 years in this role I became really excited about the potential of inside sales for a large multinational as BT. Right after the first project to establish inside sales for Europe I took over the operation (then 10 people) and since then developped the methodology and the business to now a soon to be 50 FTE operation with several business models. I am really excited to build the inside sales methodology for a true global sales coverage of huge multinationals and use my team as an incubator of leading sales ideas and sales talent.
