2b Ahead is Europe's largest foresight institute and helps companies develop individual visions of the future for the next 5 to 10 years based on scientific futures research in order to discover new potential and grow exponentially.

My task was to develop and implement an AI-first strategy in marketing and sales to optimize the efficiency of the departments while preparing the company's internationalization through the use of LLM-based software. At the same time, I worked with Dirk Kreuter and his knowledge from the "Master of Sales" and "Scaling Strategy Consulting" programs on the development and launch of the company's digital products in order to reach new target groups through clear sales funnels and offer scalable products on the market.

In this area, I was responsible for the professional and disciplinary management of 8 employees, the development of strategies and milestone plans based on the management's agreed KPIs. I introduced process-driven work, including the documentation of all processes and their optimization through the integration of AI tools to increase efficiency. As a result, my team and I reduced the cost per lead by 100% within 6 months and increased the number of participants in our weekly live webinars to over 1,000.
