Export Sales Development Trilingual English - German - French

67Sarre-UnionAlsace - France

Bilingual in German (I spent 3 years both in a corporate and SMB environment in Germany) and perfectly fluent in English, I am currently working in IBM in Dublin as a Software Sales Representative.

Prior to this Irish experience, I was covering the whole French territory during 3 years as an External Sales Engineer for a German company, leader in the field of industrial automated production lines for the timber frame woodhouse industry.

I am deeply passionate about Industrial Marketing, and in particular about the field of Information Management.
I wrote a thesis for my Master in Export Management, the title of which is: 'Development and perfectibility of the Competitive Intelligence practice in France; Comparison with the American and Japanese systems'.

Moreover, I had the honour to lead a French youth political branch at a regional level (110 members) during 3 years, that brought me definitely a fulfilment and experience in managing complex relations and situations at an interesting level.

These last 2 years I passed following exams:

- Advanced Diploma in Project Management (D.B.S. Dublin Business School):

- Certificate in Public Relations (Public Relations Institute of Ireland PRII):
