I am looking to make a fresh start and see a career development especially in the USA, as an excellent opportunity and an excellent challenge.

My roles at FUJITSU SIEMENS Computers require a high level of expertise. My extensive background includes responsibility for general sales support, marketing, communications and coaching, as well as experience in handling multiple projects. These projects include planning, forecasting, purchasing, and analyzing, as well as reporting on various aspects of the business.

Strong interpersonal skills allow me to work effectively with individuals at all levels as well as part of a team.  The wealth of my IT experience combined with proven skills provides valuable insight for managing day-to-day operations and executing business strategies. 

As an enthusiastic self-starter I am result-oriented, dependable, professional, and experienced in customer service and sales.

I have visited the USA more than 13 times within the last 10 years and found out that the american mentality and general way of life is something I have a close affinity to and I would love to get the opportunity to work and live in this marvelous country.
