I find this very difficult because I think all great results are due to team work, and a bit of luck. Like the software we specialized on happened to become a very fast growing market. And we captured a big chunk of that marked with only a team of 5 people, but we could probably not have done it without each other. All our work was very intertwined.

Correct, but North American hiring culture expects you to sell yourself, in the STAR format. Situation (Your job) -> Task (Your project) -> Action (Your role) -> Result (Numbers go up). So, if you want a job, you have to play the game. You obviously didn't move mountains all by yourself - you were an employee, not a solo self-contained business unit. If the hiring manager wants more details about what exactly your role was in moving the mountain, they can ask in the interview. Be honest, but don't sell yourself short.
