The Randstad, Netherlands
After more than 35 years leading international businesses, I have come to believe that sustainable business growth is never just about strategy. It starts with people. Throughout my career I have had the privilege of leading businesses across Europe and Asia, serving as General Manager at HEINEKEN in Belgium and Taiwan, Global Commercial Director at De Kuyper Royal Distillers, President & COO at Tasc/Garden Vision and holding international leadership roles at Britvic, Japan Tobacco International and Diageo. I have led business turnarounds, international expansion, commercial transformation and high-growth strategies while carrying full P&L responsibility for organizations with revenues exceeding €200 million and teams of up to 500 people. What I enjoy most today is helping leaders and organizations unlock their next stage of growth. Whether supporting founders, CEOs, leadership teams or boards, I bring practical experience rather than theory. I have experienced the realities of international leadership, making difficult decisions, managing change, building high-performing teams and delivering sustainable commercial results. My experience includes: • General Management & CEO leadership • International Business Development • Commercial Transformation • Scaling International Businesses • Leadership & Executive Team Development • Route-to-Market Strategy • FMCG, Consumer Goods & Family Businesses • Board-level stakeholder management • Cross-cultural leadership across Europe and Asia Today I am open to opportunities as: • Board Advisor • Advisory Board Member • Non-Executive Director • CEO Advisor • Executive Coach • Fractional Commercial Executive Based in Southern Spain, I work internationally and enjoy partnering with ambitious companies that are entering their next phase of growth. Driving Results Through People has been my leadership philosophy throughout my career—and continues to define how I help organizations succeed.
