Karina Strobl

With 20+ years in the language and tech industries, I’ve done just about everything — from hands-on AE work to leading global sales teams and building onboarding programs that drive real results. I’ve worked with startups and scale-ups, all the way to industry leaders like Orange, Lingo24, and Unbabel — always focused on impact, growth and real results. I love breaking down complex sales concepts into real, usable tools people can actually use.

When I’m not talking sales strategy or enablement, you’ll find me travelling, diving into psychology, crafting from wood, or hanging out with my goofy puppy. I’m excited to guide you through this course and support your learning journey!
