Hi, I’m Michael. I’m a sales and digital marketing professional with proven success in B2B and B2C customer management, key account development, and crafting results-driven campaigns. I blend strategy with hands-on execution—digital marketing, social media management, content creation, and video editing—to drive growth and build lasting relationships. I’m a native German speaker with professional proficiency in English (C1/C2). In my spare time I love international travel, attending music events, exploring new foods, and mountain biking. I’m also passionate about ESL online teaching and sharing knowledge with people around the world.
