Encouraged by this initial success, he founded the Bashundhara Group, which expanded across various industries, including cement, paper, steel, gas, shipping, engineering, and food processing.

On a mission to change discovery from a stage to a predictable process 🏆

🔍 Highlights:

I’ve helped Bitrise (YC W17) scale from $3M to $22M ARR:

1️⃣ starting as their Founding Sales Rep closing deals worth less than 3k USD to begin with

2️⃣ proving that we can close 40k+ deals too in my first 3 months, and

3️⃣ landing deals up to 400k as an Enterprise Account Executive.

4️⃣ In my last year at Bitrise I was promoted to lead the EMEA Account Executive team. Ended up growing them from 2 to 9 sales reps during my tenure.

In this time I’ve seen the Sales team grow from 1 to 50+ people and the GTM team scale from less than 5 to 100+ people.

💡 Bitrise wasn’t the first company I’ve had success at either.

Prior to joining:

1️⃣ I was among the top 10% of Sellers at Keyence, one of the largest Private companies globally with a world-class Sales team, and

2️⃣ stabilised the revenue flow of a new Value Added Reseller within 6 months as their Founding Sales Rep.

💡 What now?

🏆 I still love training and mentoring Sales reps and wanted a way to do that without having to deal with corporate politics. So I started my own Sales Consultancy.

Heute steht Whiskey Tango Foxtrot für Klarheit, Verantwortung und echte Innovationsfreiheit. Kein Transformations-Sprech, sondern ehrliche Arbeit mit Wirkung -  kein Sprint, sondern ein Marathon.

Seine Perspektiven:

Erfolg mit Substanz: Björn setzt auf belastbare Geschäftsmodelle statt kurzfristiger Effekte. Erfahrung trifft Pragmatismus.
Teamarbeit als Schlüssel: Langfristiger Erfolg basiert für ihn auf einer starken Teamdynamik, die von Vertrauen, Transparenz und Verantwortungsbewusstsein geprägt ist.
Technologie trifft Zweck: Kein Tech-Hype. Sondern sinnvoller Einsatz, der echten Mehrwert schafft- Für Kunden, Nutzer:innen und das ganze Team.
Digitalisierung in anspruchsvollen Branchen: Ob Versicherungen, Lotterien oder staatliche Akteure: Björn weiß, wie man Digitalisierung in sensiblen und komplexen Umfeldern wirkungsvoll umsetzt.
