In 2013 I started my own consulting company in the field of fall protection, safe working at height and personnel transport. Initially I gave advice and training to a few national companies and organizations however soon it turned out that working for an international manufacturing company while doingsales, marketing & product development in a team environment was more of my preference. After my experiences at two international hardware manufacturers I have been working for a French rope manufacturer since 2015. For them I developed the international business, more details are listed at Courant.

I have been working for Courant since 2015 with the goal; to put the company on the map internationally. To achieve this, I have followed the following strategy in close cooperation with the management and internal team members from different departments. Setting up the sales and marketing strategy for the most relevant market sectors, developing the product portfolio for the global arborist and access & rescue market, implementing the sales, pricing and goto market strategy, selecting and forming a dedicated dealer network, selecting and forming a colorful team of external promoters & product testers, managing the team of sales & product promoters during dealer tours and events, implementing the new social media strategy, comprehensive launch of new products, updating the commercial paperwork (catalogs & datasheets).This strategy has allowed the company to change in the last years from a company mainly focused on the French market to a serious global player within the professional tree care and access & rescue market.

As the sales agent for the Benelux, I was responsible for composing the product portfolio for the various market segments, implementing the right market strategy, building and maintaining the dealer network, product presentation and advice to end-users, and support during various international events. In the last year, I combined my work for ISC with the work for Courant with the aim of creating synergy between both companies and in the offering towards the market.
