Entrepreneur | New Business Developer | Visionair | Evangelist | Speaker |After working for over 10 years as an International Marketing Manager for a global software company, I have been active as an entrepreneur: starting and running successful, small, agile software companies. Leading these companies through many (good and some bad) experiences, mergers, buy-outs, joint ventures, economic upheavals, and now, into the future of Digital Identities and Verifiable Credentials — but still happy and enthusiastic to be an entrepreneur!As co-founder of Sphereon (sphereon.com), I focus on Product & Business Strategy as well as New Business Development.Sphereon provides a digital credentials platform, using decentralized verifiable credentials technologies to change the way organizations work.Verifiable credentials are a crucial building block of the new digital world. They add trust, privacy, and automation to the internet — things that are sorely missing today. Creating Trust in the Digital World!Sphereon combines these new digital credentials with a solid enterprise-grade microservices architecture (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.) and leading-edge AI and NLP technologies.Besides thinking about long-term strategy, I find Product Strategy and Business Development the most interesting and fulfilling aspects of my daily work.I am extremely interested in co-creating these solutions with others; no company can do this alone.Skills: • Tech Entrepreneurship: Expertise in pioneering new software technologies and driving innovation in information management and business processes. • International Sales & Market Expansion: Skilled in developing new subsidiaries and expanding market presence on a global scale. • Channel Development: Proficient in creating and managing national and international sales channels. • Market & Product Analysis: Experienced in analyzing markets and products to inform strategic decisions and positioning. • Strategic Planning & Alliances: Adept at strategic planning, product positioning, and forming strategic alliances to drive business growth. • New Product Launches: Successful in launching new products and overseeing global contract negotiations.
