I am importing and selling steel products for values exceeding USD 20 Million/year. Currently I am mainly importing flat rolled steel products, but I am also responsible for wire rod imports into the USA. I am highly involved in the financial aspects of the business and create logistic solutions for customers. Contract negotiations, customer acquisition and stakeholder relationship management is a daily part of my job. I travel frequently within and outside of the USA.

I was trading steel products from most steel exporting countries in the world into Middle East, South East Asian and African markets (including sourcing, customer aquisition, financing and logistics). My Sales Volumes exceeded USD 10 million/year and I frequently travelled to the following countries: South Korea, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arabian Emirates, Angola and India. I managed the concluded businesses from beginning of the negotiations all the way to the completion of the orders.

I started working with experienced trading managers within the company to learn the customs and mechanisms of international trading. I responded to different customer and vendor inquiries and assisted in increasing sales volume. I assisted in customer relation programs in France, Spain, Portugal and Germany and supported customer acquisition processes in Middle East and South East Asia. I started to generate revenue and profits for CCC Steel on my own and exceeded sales values of USD 3 million/year.

I graduated as an MBA. More specific skills were acquired in the fields of strategic management, entrepreneurship and International Relations and Affairs (With Focus on Cultural Differences)

During the BBA program, I researched business start-up opportunities in the international trade segment in and around Hamburg.
