I — Introduction

Meet me before the interview

A short self-recorded introduction.

Watch it before we speak, then the interview can start somewhere more interesting.

II — Summary

SaaS professional with a strong sales background and extensive experience working with international customers, B2B and B2C, from individual users and small IT teams to enterprise accounts. What led me to closing deals was the customer success part of it: understanding what someone actually needed, explaining the product in their own terms, and staying with the account after the signature. Skilled in building trusted relationships, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and helping customers adopt technology and achieve long-term value. I also work freelance, which has taught me to run client relationships end to end and be accountable for the outcome, not just the task. Passionate about AI, technology, and continuous learning.
