About Astrid

I help technology and industrial companies grow revenue, build scalable sales organizations, and execute effective go-to-market strategies across international markets.

With 30+ years of experience in the technology industry, including senior leadership roles at Intel, I have led multi-billion revenue businesses across EMEA and operated at VP/GM leadership level. My focus is on translating strategy into execution and delivering measurable business impact in complex, fast-moving environments.

I specialize in sales transformation, go-to-market strategy, and building partner ecosystems (OEMs, ISVs, resellers, system integrators) to scale growth. I have built new business segments from scratch, defined regional strategies, and led cross-functional teams across multiple countries.

My experience includes navigating market volatility, aligning global HQ strategies with local market realities, and leading organizations through structural change in matrix environments.

  • Building and scaling sales organizations
  • Partner and channel strategy
