Meet Martin Schlögl, our Head of Sales

Welcome to the team, Martin! 

Martin grew up in Sankt Stefan im Rosental, a small village in southeastern Austria. After spending a few years studying and starting his professional career in Graz, Martin moved to Ligist in 2014. 

Martin’s first job was as a sales engineer at Ranorex (a standard product for functional test automation), working with clients worldwide and later for the US market. After a few years, he started as Sales Manager at Ranorex, focussing on the new logo business for EMEA and APAC. Out of that, Martin built a team responsible for new business in EMEA and APAC and led the team for almost two years. 

For the last three years, Martin worked for Parkside Interactive, a company offering premium custom software development as a Senior Business Developer, generating leads, converting them into opportunities and customer projects, and internally moving the company into an agile working environment.

Martin likes being a bridge, using his technical education and background and his communicative skills to connect customers and engineering teams. 

In his daily work, he’s conscientious and hands-on and likes to give himself time-outs to reflect continuously while providing and processing honest feedback. Like most people in Sales, Martin loves to close a deal, but he also enjoys moving an opportunity into the next stage and when his team generates new ideas to sell better in the future. 

Martin spends most of his spare time with his family (three children) and playing sports. He’s passionate about music (he studied Tuba at the University of Performing Arts, Graz!), loves cycling, and enjoys long-distance hiking.

Martin loves to work with experts, so he’s looking forward to working with and learning from his new team. With great people and excellent products, he’s excited to get started.
