About

After living abroad from 2006 till 2013, in march 2013 I settled back in Belgium. I am really thankful Thomas Cook Company for the given opportunities during that period and the several positions they gave me in so many different great regions as Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Greece, India & Cuba. What a remarkable period full of cultural awareness, the different foreign business cultures,… I discovered unbelievable beautiful places and worked with great colleagues, team members and business partners . Returned in Belgium I got the chance to join Battery Supplies in July 2013 as Export Sales Executive for the export regions . I got the chance to start working in a great team , so I could develop my knowledge in sales and customer follow up. Year after year we developed our sales in the European region and the export regions. Great to see how we moved our business and products all over the world and we realized with the team growing results. Together with our colleagues of all different departments in the company we worked hard, all together to realize great sales results and to grow further our battery business and adapt to the challenges that occurred on the different markets during the years. On the way new opportunities occur, and now with the integration of Battery Supplies into the TVH Parts Holding NV, the start of 2023 means also the start off a new job, as Business Development Agent for the battery business, I will work further in a team of like-minded colleagues . Working in the sales business and to bring the battery sales for the group to a next level is a great challenge for the coming period. To use my experience of the last years to help the sales teams in the different regions of the company to develop further their strategy, to adapt to the challenges of the market in their regions and to share our ideas to bring the sales of the batteries to a common success. To meet with clients, to develop our collaboration and to explore together the business opportunities for now and the future,…. Looking forward to this.
