Developing and leading people

A move into sales, made to work

Andreas was my direct manager at the start of my time at MicroNova. Even after his own step up he remained a valuable mentor who shaped my professional development considerably. He recognised my potential early on and gave me the opportunity to make my move into sales work.

What I valued most was his strategic foresight, his innovative view of problems and his ability to see things through. At the same time he creates an environment that encourages ownership and leaves room for personal growth. His trust and his support helped me develop professionally and personally and pursue my goals consistently.

Andreas combines entrepreneurial thinking with a clear sense for future opportunities. I am glad to recommend him.

From inside sales to channel manager

Andreas was my direct manager during my time at MicroNova and shaped my professional development decisively. He recognised my potential early on and gave me the opportunity to grow from inside sales into a channel manager role and to take responsibility for building the partner business.

What I valued in particular was his ability to set clear goals while leaving the room to put my own ideas into practice. Through his trust and his support he created an environment in which I could develop professionally and personally.

Growth in field sales under his leadership

Andreas Klare was an ideal manager and was largely responsible for the harmonious atmosphere at the branch. His outstanding expertise and commitment allowed me not only significant growth in field sales, but also excellent cooperation with the team and with customers. I am genuinely proud to have been able to learn from him, and I valued the chance to grow and develop under his leadership.

Through Andreas' influence I became extremely successful in field sales. His support contributed considerably to my professional success.

Collegial leadership, disciplined work

Andreas was my direct manager from 2016 to 2017 in his role as branch manager. I valued his collegial leadership style greatly. Through his instinct for people he managed again and again to motivate the team afresh. His relaxed yet dependable manner always created the feeling of a good working atmosphere in which disciplined work was still the rule.

During my time at WM, Andreas was highly regarded by everyone, and to me he was an excellent boss who stands up for his people. I thank him very much for our time together and wish him all the best for the future.

Strategy, execution and results

Strategy and execution connected in an unusual way

Andreas is one of those sales leaders who connect strategy and execution in an unusual way. With clear focus, strong delivery and excellent planning he realigned the sales organisation successfully, established strong key account management and grew the partner business sustainably. His ability to spot opportunities and convert them consistently into results led to disproportionate revenue growth. Working with him is marked by professionalism and a clear will to succeed. I recommend him without reservation.

Sales thought through end to end

I worked with Andreas Klare as Head of Sales in Enterprise Solutions and came to know him as an exceptionally committed and energetic sales professional.

Andreas thinks about sales end to end, from the first idea through the proposal to the close, without ever losing sight of targets or numbers. What I value in particular is his collaborative manner: he meets customers, partners and colleagues as equals, listens, understands the technical requirements and develops pragmatic, workable solutions from them. His pronounced focus on outcomes shows in the way he sets clear priorities, makes decisions and brings deals to a structured close, even in complex enterprise environments with many stakeholders.

Anyone looking for a Head of Sales who combines energy, professionalism and a focus on results while building long-term customer relationships is very well served by Andreas Klare.

Vendors, partners and customers

Built the field sales function from the ground up

I worked with Andy during his time as Head of Enterprise Solutions at MicroNova, our German distribution partner, on ManageEngine's DACH enterprise strategy. Over roughly two years, he built the field sales function from the ground up — structuring it into 4 key account managers covering the North, East, West, and South regions of Germany — and backed it with a QBR cadence that brought real forecasting discipline to the enterprise pipeline. He also put a channel partnership strategy in place that gave the go-to-market lasting scale rather than depending on one-off deals.

He's organized, direct, and easy to plan with, and the structure he built — regional coverage, cadence, channel strategy — is the kind of foundation that outlasts any single deal or quarter. Any organization looking to build out a disciplined enterprise sales function would benefit from having him on the team.
