About Me
I grew up in Germany with roots in Burkina Faso— a background that taught me early how to navigate different cultures, languages, and perspectives. That multicultural foundation has shaped everything about how I lead, sell, and build.
I moved to the U.S. at 13 and eventually earned a collegiate soccer scholarship at Reinhardt University in Georgia, where I played competitively and earned my B.S. in Business Administration in 2009. Sports taught me discipline, teamwork, and how to perform under pressure — skills that translated directly into a career in enterprise sales.
I spent 11 years at AT&T, starting as a Client Solutions Executive managing government, education, and healthcare accounts worth $9.5M+ in combined billing. I earned the AT&T Diamond Club Award in 2013— ranking in the top 1% of over 10,000 sales reps nationally. I then moved into Technical Sales, architecting MPLS, VoIP, and network security solutions for enterprise and government clients over a 6-year run of consistently exceeding targets.
In 2023, I joined Spectrum Enterprise as a Technical Sales Consultant for Unified Communications, leading discovery and solution design for enterprise UC opportunities. By December 2025, I was promoted to Sales Manager at Spectrum Business Services, where I now lead a team of Enterprise Account Executives and Account Managers across five product portfolios: connectivity, managed network, security, cloud, and voice.
Outside of work, I'm deep into technology and crypto. I build AI-powered automation tools, algorithmic trading bots, and full-stack web applications through my company withlukas. I've shipped 9+ production tools — from email outreach engines to job search automation to crypto trading dashboards. Building things is how I think through problems.
I'm fluent in English and German and operate comfortably across U.S. and European markets. I live in Atlanta, GA.
