• What is your role at Teamwork Commerce?

I am the European Sales Director at Teamwork Commerce. My role is to manage and close new business in my region for our company. From managing the business development pipeline to building go-to-market strategies and European retail marketing initiatives, I’m responsible for the management of the entire sales operations in the region.

• Explain your career path. What inspired you to join the retail tech industry?

I have always enjoyed the retail space because it is so relatable. We are all consumers of retail and all of us have our own shopping behaviors and favorite brands. What fascinates me is how intricate and complex retail operations can be when you look behind the scenes. Our job is to simplify this for our clients and empower them to provide exceptional customer experience.

• What is your favorite thing about working in the retail industry?

My favorite thing is the people and businesses we get exposed to. Every day there is something different, no two days are the same. This challenges us to continuously solve problems and find the right solution for our clients.

• What is the best career advice you have ever received?

1) “Always answer the question you are being asked.”

2) “You have two ears and one mouth for a reason, use them in that ratio.” (Listen and learn more than you speak)

• What is your favorite thing about working at Teamwork Commerce?

The culture here is like nothing I have experienced before, we really are a team. In addition, Teamwork Commerce is a growing company that empowers its employees to forge their own career paths and supports them to get there.

• Who are your key role models/inspirations?

My father has really been my main role model and inspiration growing up. He’s been through a lot in his professional and personal life, and he is someone I have learned a lot from.
