Derek Batchelor Email & Phone Number

I'm passionate about developing strategic plans and building capable teams to sell high-technology products in competitive markets. Healthcare and horticulture may seem worlds apart, but the fundamentals are the same - develop strategies that set you above the competition, find and develop the best people, and build relationships with key external decision makers, and internal stakeholders. I have a strong track record in transferring these skills across industries.KEY SKILLS - strategic planning - market development - senior leadership - building and mentoring high performing sales teams - stakeholder management - sales growth* Transformed horticultural grading across ANZ through the introduction of AI based grading technologies.* Developed and implemented strategic plans that have transformed surgical care across multiple specialties in NZ, while achieving market dominance. * Built and coached one of the most successful medical device sales teams in NZ.* Transferred skills to horticulture where a previously under-performing region exceeded forecasts for 5 years in a row.Developing and implementing strategic solutions that engage customers for the long term has stood me well across a diverse range of industries. And it's only been possible by building and surrounding myself with great teams.
