Petra Henell

PROFILE: Marketing savvy business development, senior key account and project manager. Fifteen years of documented Swedish-American work experience in areas of internet services, media/publishing, satellite technology, tourism and travel. Challenge- and curiosity-driven, generalist nature with a career background in steady corporate settings as well as unpredictable start-up environments.

I make most sense in a customer-facing function (managing customer success), for example in business development, client services or project management. I thrive in technical, multi-cultural milieus, in companies with a work climate that emphasizes cross-divisional communication and collaboration.

AIM: To utilize my knowledge of business development, marketing, customer and project management, in a function where I am encouraged to focus on customer retention and satisfaction, communication and marketing. Actively strategize and work with the company‟s tone of voice, utilize proven and unexplored media channels to position the company, strengthen the brand, build community and create and maintain long-term relationships. Finally, be a team-player, inspire, guide and support my co-workers, develop and have fun in my role and career.

I wish to keep furthering my online profession and picture my next endeavor back in the US, in an environment and role that engages my visual sensitivity, my attention to detail, my appreciation for the internet, relationship building and creating success by team effort. I look forward to working with a new set of people, with a meaningful product and service.
