Summary

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am looking for a new professional challenge or engagement. This can be in Poland, Germany, or remotely. In my previous position as "International Sales Manager", I managed clients from various industries and sectors. The professional skills and life experience I have gained make me believe that I could be an interesting asset for many companies.

Since 2009 I have run my own sole proprietorship in Poland, focusing mainly on sales and management. After completing a long-term contract with my previous company, I am now seeking a new field of activity. While building new trade relationships and international sales networks, I traveled a lot and am used to frequent travel. Now I am looking for a new role where I can apply the skills I have acquired.

My strengths undoubtedly include interpersonal skills, extensive professional and life experience, and various foreign language skills. German is my second native language. I speak and write English fluently (level C2) and also have a good command of French. In the so-called D-A-CH countries (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), I maintain good contacts with decision-makers in various areas and industries (retail chains, manufacturers, suppliers, etc.).

I am available to start immediately. My CV is stored here on FRATCH in English.

I would be very pleased to hear from you.

Best regards, Arkadiusz Ziomek
