Identify opportunities to expand GEA's service offering and increase lifecycle engagement across the installed customer base.
Ensure a smooth transition from sales to project execution through effective collaboration with engineering, service and project teams.
Maintain customer engagement following project delivery, supporting after-sales requirements and identifying future opportunities.
Act as a key commercial interface between customers and GEA throughout the sales and account lifecycle.

Strategy & Collaboration

Contribute to regional business development and sales planning, supporting GEA's strategic growth objectives.
