Main responsibilities:- Develop and source full product line-up in Far East- Build a concept around the brand - Build up European retail distribution from scratch- Support and motivate a team of 9 FTE- Support both larger retail customers and smaller local resellersThis role started as Business Unit manager for the private label (Digiconnect) of the BAS group. Our ambition was to rebuild the Digiconnect private label (computer accessories) to a fresh retail concept that could be successfully sold all across Europe. The result was a fresh new brnad concept named ICIDU.Sourcing products in the Far East and developing new products with Chinese vendors were some of the tasks I liked in particular. It is always great to develop something new and seeing it take of!With a small team we have rebranded the concept ICIDU and created a completely new packaging- and sales concept, ready for the European market. We have successfully sold the concept within our own group (MyCom stores) and to independent resellers in the Netherlands and Belgium. ICIDU was successfully sold in Turkey and the United Kingdom.Within my role as Business Unit Manager I also visited some of the main customers of the BAS group. These could be larger retailers and independent resellers in the Benelux region. Eventually I was invited to take over the responsibilities of the Sales Manager and manage a team of 9 FTE.During sourcing trips I would spend 1-2 weeks in the Far East and visiting European distributors or retailers would usually take 2-3 days. Average international travelling component would be around 20% - 25%.

This job was partially performed in the autonomously operating B.V. (Inc.) and at a later stage within Buhrmann Office Products / Corporate Express (now Staples Advantage).As Manager I was responsible for the final bottom line result and strategy of this profit centre in the group. Development of the entire Addison product line, purchasing the required products in the Far East, exporting these products with my export team to European retailers and -distributors and leading the sales- and office team (6 FTE) describe my main activities.In the beginning, Addison was a small retail brand developed by Dawidenko in Noordwijk but when the company was sold to Samas and later to Corporate Express / Staples Advantage it also became a B2B brand in the Staples catalogues, giving it extra European exposure. Later on, the Addison products and sources were also used as the foundation of private label products of Staples Advantage. We have been able to successfully roll out the Addison brand to leading European retailers and distribution partners in Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Turkey and Scandinavia.One of the visible results of this job was that I often joined travellers in an airplane that were using products that I had developed!This role required extensive travelling. Both for longer periods (2 – 4 weeks) to China, Taiwan, Korea and Hong Kong as well as shorter trips to European retailers and distributors. The travelling component was between 40%-50%.

Adhesives Research Europe B.V.As Export Manager I was responsible for selling high-quality adhesive tapes to industrial customers all over Europe. Our main targets where paper mills where repulpable tapes are needed for the production process. A critical product in the production process of paper and not a product that would easily be replaced.My task was to find and approach potential users of our high end industrial tapes and to guide our products through lengthy selection procedures of industrial customers in order to convert them into long-term customers. I have been able to build and keep substantial business with companies such as Tetra Pak (various countries), Airwick (France) and United Paper mills (UPM, now known as UPM-Kymmene) and Stora-Enso, all-in the Nordic region.In the US, Adhesives Research was a real market leader but in Europe we were real challengers. Some of our products had a limited shelf life and cross border business was quite complicated with different import duties and -regulations per country. Not to forget the many different currencies we sold in at that time. A great first job with interesting learning curves! I would spend approx. 30% of my time travelling to European customers with a focus on Scandinavia.

After 3 days selection period, I joined the Dutch Marine Corps. Finished the elementary training in the Netherlands and was consequently deployed in the Dutch Caribean (Curacao) for 9 months.The Marine Corps is an expeditionary, rapidly deployable and multifaceted crisis management instrument, specialised in carrying out amphibious operations with light infantry units. The marines are deployable for long periods of time, under all climatological and geographical conditions.
