As I see it, one of my most important tasks in sales will be to successfully derive strategies from the latest market trends and implement them profitably in the long term. I’ll have to keep an eye on the entire value chain at all times, and in particular on the sustainability of our products and processes – which for me is the key to business success and optimal customer satisfaction.”
