Mario Kühlkamp (1972) is the Chief Sales Officer DACH of StepStone Deutschland GmbH und is responsible for one of the key business segments of the corporate group. Following his successful studies in economic science, the proven sales expert was quick to identify his passion and talent for the sales environment – especially the development of agile and flexible solutions and structures to efficiently focus this company segment on constantly evolving market specifics and challenges. Following various career steps, among others at Thyssen, Twenty4Help, Prospektiv GmbH and Enterprise, he joined StepStone in 2011. His instinct for the market and his customers, combined with his winning style of motivating people, quickly made him an appreciated leader in the company.

In his current role, he develops and drives the focused implementation of the strategic positioning of StepStone's product portfolio in the market as well as the local promotion concepts. His broad and diverse network covering various industries and differing levels of decision makers often enables him to adjust the sales model to new market challenges or topics before a general trend materializes. In general, he – and his teams – enjoy the constant challenge of being that one vital step ahead of market requirements.

In his presentations and speeches, Mario Kühlkamp gives an insight into the world of sales strategies and their secrets to success. Fully in line with his motto "Take care of your employees and your customer and the profit will follow", he shows which factors besides sales talent and pronounced social skills play a decisive role in successfully launching and positioning products in the market.
