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,  I decided to make the jump and establish myself  as an independent consultant & interim  to give way to my strong drive for entrepreneurship. Having built  an extensive network of contacts within  industries such as  building & construction, oil & gas, recreational and transportation I have achieved proven results and brought companies to very profitable levels.  

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!
