Omschrijving

With 38+ years of experience as owner, general manager and consultant, I bring hands-on expertise in production setup, operational restructuring, EU product certification (CE) and B2B growth. I work at the intersection of strategy and execution: from defining the business model to implementing production flows, organising teams and bringing compliant products to market.

What sets me apart is my ability to combine industrial know-how, regulatory compliance and financial insight. I have led licensed manufacturing operations, managed full P&L responsibility, built international distributor networks and delivered EU-compliant construction products across multiple markets.

Typical projects and deliverables include:

• Setup or optimisation of production facilities

• Operational turnaround and process improvement

• EU product certification and compliance management

• Industrial business model and ROI analysis

• B2B sales and distributor network development

• Support for Horizon 2020 / Horizon Europe industrial projects

I am a pragmatic, senior profile who focuses on results, feasibility and execution, not theory or slides.
