About

I am an experienced sales leader and commercial strategist with a proven track record in driving growth, leading high‑performing teams, and managing full P&L responsibility across international markets. Over the past years, I’ve built expertise in business development, market expansion, and operational excellence . My career spans leadership roles as COO and Country Manager, where I guided cross‑functional teams, optimized workflows, and delivered sustainable revenue growth. In healthcare and medical technology, I’ve represented global companies, launched new products, and built trusted relationships with key stakeholders. I understand the complexity of healthcare markets — from regulatory compliance (EU MDR, HIPAA) to patient‑centric solutions — and how to translate strategy into measurable outcomes. What sets me apart is my ability to combine strategic market analysis with hands‑on leadership. I thrive in multicultural environments, communicate fluently in Dutch, English, and French, and excel at aligning diverse teams around clear commercial objectives. My focus is on creating value through market access, brand strategy, and digital health innovation. I am now seeking a new challenge as a Commercial Manager in Healthcare, where I can leverage my experience to expand market presence, strengthen partnerships, and deliver meaningful impact for patients and organizations alike.
