ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Germany early sixties from Dutch parents and having lived in Belgium, Holland and Curacao for longer periods, I consider myself a true world citizen

 

My father’s work as an officer with the Dutch Air force made my family move around a lot which taught me to adapt quickly to new environments and make new contacts.

 

Despite my upbringing in an army environment, I never had doubts that my future was in business and trade. Graduated on a bachelor level Sales & Marketing, I started my career as the proverbial newspaper salesman selling subscriptions door-to-door which was the most excellent teaching school for sales for me. 

 

Soon, and probably because of my background, I made the transition to international sales working on the highest level for a number of  (public) companies and specializing in B2B Sales & Marketing and manufacturing for the technical textiles and composite industries. 

 

After a long and successful career as Managing Director for a large multinational, and to follow my strong drive for entrepreneurship, I decided to make the jump in 2020 and establish myself as an independent consultant & interim working for various companies. 

With the help of my large network within the various industries of expertise such as building & construction, oil & gas, transportation and recreational I have achieved proven results allowing clients to realize their goals.  

​

Writing business plans, executing feasibility studies and defining complete sales strategies are my strength benefitting from my large experience on the international markets. My reward is to guide companies to international success!
