What did you do before you joined Expando?

All my work life I have been working with Technical sales roles and key account management  in the electronics and embedded industry, both for smaller startup companies but also larger corporations. I started as a FAE but realized quickly that I also wanted to be responsible for the commercial piece of the business.

Tell us a little about your journey to Expando and what are you most looking forward to in your new role here?

I met with Otto and the Expando team through a common friend that introduced me to Expando. He  thought I would be a good fit for the open sales role at Expando. I like the environment of being part of a small company where decisions can be made fast.

I really enjoy the mix of technical discussions and commercial discussions with our customers.

What do you love most about your job role?

I like the mix of technical and commercial discussions and I think it suits me really good.
