My story

Most of what I know about presales I learned on the job. From mentors, from customers and from the people I worked with.

I kept seeing strong presales people struggle with the same things I struggled with. How to run discovery. How to tell a clear story. How to give a demo that lands. How to grow into leadership without losing yourself.

This handbook is my answer. I wrote it from the field, to make the job easier for you.

I come from logistics. I hold a Master of Science in Logistics from THM Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen. My PhD is from Mendel University in Brno. It looked at AI in supply chain management.

Outside work

I live in a small town in the German countryside with my wife and our three kids. Family keeps me grounded. I run, shoot archery and ride my motorcycle.
