I am a dynamic and results-driven entrepreneur with a strong background in e-commerce, sales, and account management. With over six years of experience, I have successfully built and scaled multiple online businesses while also excelling in B2B sales and strategic client management. Currently, I work as an Account Manager at Metro AG, where I was promoted within four months to manage one of the largest client portfolios in the Netherlands. In this role, I develop and execute sales strategies, negotiate high-value contracts, and optimize client relationships within the hospitality and food industry. Beyond my corporate experience, I have a deep passion for building and growing online businesses. I have successfully launched multiple WooCommerce and WordPress-based e-commerce stores, generating significant revenue through smart digital marketing and efficient logistics. My hands-on expertise ranges from web development and branding to supply chain management and conversion optimization. I am also the founder of Koalar, a premium sustainable clothing brand designed in Lisbon and produced in Northern Portugal. With a focus on organic materials and ethical production, Koalar combines luxury fashion with a strong social mission, supporting the Australian Koala Foundation. With a problem-solving mindset, an eye for detail, and a strong drive for innovation, I thrive in fast-paced environments and love tackling new challenges—whether in sales, e-commerce, or business development.
