My Story
- The way that technology can change the way we work, play, and live has always captivated me. I chose a career in the consumer and retail industry for that reason. I could combine my love for technology with my skills in sales and marketing there.
- I started my journey as a co-founder of a company that imported and distributed disposable items for hospitals. There, I learned the basics of running a business. I also learned about satisfying customer needs.
- Then I joined Unilever, one of the world’s leading FMCG companies. I spent more than 10 years there, launching and building brands like Bertolli and Knorr. I also introduced Category Management with key retailers like Carrefour, creating value for both parties.
- I wanted to challenge myself even more. So I decided to join Microsoft. It is a company at the forefront of innovation and digital transformation. At Microsoft, I have had the opportunity to work in different regions. These regions include the Americas and EMEA. I also worked in various segments such as Retail, OEM, Distribution, Mobile Operator and SMB. I led the full P&L and general management of businesses like Microsoft Office, Windows, Xbox, Surface, and PC Accessories. I have also been recognized as a Marketer of the Year Nominee and a Top Sub Award Winner.
- I also have a deep knowledge of the Mobile. I understand the PC ecosystem and AI opportunities. I am always looking for ways to leverage the latest technologies like NPU and Copilot. My goal is to enhance customer experience and satisfaction. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to analyze data and create impactful visualizations using tools like Power BI. I can easily understand the business needs. I translate them into technical specifications. This helps to build powerful sales enablement tools. These tools can be scaled globally.
My Passion
- Besides my professional achievements, I also have a passion for personal development and learning new things. In my free time, I love spending time with my wife and twins, doing sports (karate and boxing), blogging about consumer topics (visit: https://davidmerzel.wordpress.com), reading inspiring books, and laughing with my friends.
- I have recently started competing in karate, and I have won my first competition in 2024. You can read more on this here : https://davidmerzel.wordpress.com/2024/02/19/a-story-of-resilience/
