Profil professionnel

I am looking for a new challenge in growing business and operating internationally

For eight years I have been developing the supplier network in China for Santex’s packaging business, being responsible for market research, purchasing and quality control. Thereby increasing the commerce by 130%. Based on my profound experience in developing businesses and growing new market opportunities, I engaged in the newly funded export sales function at VP Dolex. By setting up an international network of distributors and agents for tools, I was able to set the strategic outline and premises for partner management.
