From the very beginning of my career, I've felt a passion for the world of sales and supply chain. My professional journey started modestly, but over the years, I've had the opportunity to learn and experience a lot. Sales have always been the central theme throughout my career. In a dynamic environment like retail, where change is the only constant, I've always tried to maintain calmness and perspective. With over twenty years of experience, I've accumulated a wealth of knowledge. From managing sales to achieve solid sales figures, I've always believed in the power of collaboration and the importance of a strong team. I'm proud of the results we've achieved together. As Chief Commercial Officer, I've not only seen sales figures grow but also promoted a culture of inclusivity and collaboration. I value everyone's input and strive for an environment where every voice is heard. Outside of work, I'm very much a family man. I'm a proud father of two and happily married to Valerie. In my free time, I enjoy the simple things in life, like a game of table tennis or a beer on a sunny terrace. Now, I'm looking forward to a new chapter where I want to apply my knowledge and experience in consultancy and interim management. I'm curious about new collaborations and look forward to exploring opportunities with companies for the future. 📞 LET'S CONNECT Curious about how we can benefit each other?
