Ceridian is a global human capital management (HCM) software company. As Regional Director Europe I will make Ceridian in Europe as successful as we are already in the rest of the world. Dayforce, our flagship cloud HCM platform, provides human resources, payroll, workforce management and talent management capabilities in a single solution. Our platform helps you manage the entire employee lifecycle, from recruiting and onboarding, to paying people and developing their careers.

As the GM and Head of Business Unit of Lumesse’s Talent Management / HCM SaaS business I had the global ownership for all functional areas. Main focus was on driving sales and developing a new SaaS product for Talent Management. I left Lumesse after Saba Software acquired Lumesse. My clients belong to the top tier organisations as BMW, ThyssenKrupp, VW, Mahle, Douglas, Magna, Metro, G4S, Peugeot using our talent acquisition and management software.

In my role as board member and with my experience as founder of ExecuTRACK I helped this company to become a leader in the SaaS recruitment market. 22CONNECT is growing very fast and became the leader in matching technology to connect candidates and positions based on job expectations, skills and requirements.

As Managing Sales Director for Lumesse’s (former StepStone Solutions) I was responsible for growing sales and recurrent revenue of our SaaS Recruitment and Talent Management software business in Continental Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Benelux, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Eastern Europe with main focus on Russia). In this period I also finished to convert the on premise software business into a recurrent revenue business successfully.

As Managing Sales Director for the enterprise software business of StepStone in DACH and EE I was responsible for growing the regional P&L and converting the on premise software business into a recurrent revenue business. After Axel Springer bought StepStone ASA in 2010, the software business of StepStone was sold to HGCapital and rebranded into Lumesse. StepStone Solutions awards: - Sales Manager of the year 2007 - Country Sales Manager of the year 2008 - Regional Sales Manager of the year 2009

ExecuTRACK was founded by four visionary talent management entrepreneurs in 2001. In five years we grew consistently the revenue from €0,25M to more than €11M. At this time our solution was used by more than half of the DAX companies such as Adidas, BASF, Beiersdorf, ThyssenKrupp, Deutsche Post DHL, BMW, VW, Merck, Linde, RWE, Lufthansa, Bayer and Siemens.End of 2006 we sold ExecuTRACK to StepStone to combine the strengths of both companies to grow more internationally.

As Sales Manager I was responsible for selling Talent Management Software to Enterprise Companies in Germany. In this role I acquired successfully clients as BASF, Beiersdorf, Deutsche Post, Degussa, Bertelsmann and ThyssenKrupp.

In the beginning of my career I worked for TDS AG which was aquired by Fujitsu after I left the company. At this time I designed and developed web based software solutions for Deutsche Telekom.
