*** Available for Export & Sales Management - experience in Europe - Africa, Middle/ Far East + 31 (0)6-21143449 ***email: rondebruijn1@hotmail.nlMarket developer and entrepreneurI go where others don't go nor dare. Creating markets and initiating new initiatives as to grow a market from a different angle. Working locallyI manage Africa with local people who shake the same hands more often per year, and by doing so we are much closer to our customerbase. The creation of local content is very important to me, as this creates wealth locally, and it leads to customer loyalty. Based on the idea to be a leader, not a boss, the collaboration and understanding with the people working locally is outstanding; give trust and get it back, stay close and take things further for to be closer.Africa's working classWith over 8 years of experience in Africa, and having visited more than 32 countries on the continent more then once, I trust myself to have quite a clear view on Africa. And, how to step by step make business grow. Africa's biggest challenge today is the development of a working class, hand skilled people alike bricklayers, carpenters, welders, electricians, plumbers, mechanics etc. Only if those workmen are available in Africa it is possible to set up subsidiaries and find local workers.Learning & contributingAm always keen to discuss topics, I realize I can be blunt, but focus is on making life better for everybody.SpecialtiesPurchasing; Export-Management; Counseling; Languages; Building Relationships and keeping them; Entrepreneur, Thinking in Out of Box solutions (if you do what you did you get what you got)
