Skills

Corporate Level
As a senior executive with 16 years of global experience, I led companies through a process of change. In order to do this, I first assess the company through its people. My judge of character, refined over the years, allows me to quickly locate the “crown princes” and discard the “dead wood”. I then focus on sales and marketing, market driven product development, and the company’s core products. Through addressing manufacturing (lean/outsourcing) and purchasing, the operational headcount can be optimized. The overall goal is, of course, to maximize profits by way of cost-cutting and improved efficiently. Through “open communications” I make everybody a part of this goal, while creating team spirit and a fun place to work at.

- Project Based (Sales & Marketing)
Sales & Marketing, coupled with the right product development, has been the center of my interest. I focus marketing on the right targets, in the correct geographical areas, and with products that are both in demand and at the core of the company. I then look into the R&D roadmap to see where the market is moving to and to create purely market-driven programs. Next I ask some questions: Is the sales force of the right quality/quantity?
In the right area? Is their compensation competitive?

- Technology Transfer
I have transferred technology from three companies (two being overseas), moving the center of excellence from their site to headquarters. In this process, I have cut headcount at the local companies significantly.
