As a self-employed consultant I am serving companies in the food and agribusiness. My focus is on the commercial side of the business, where my specialty is new business development. Not only by developing strategies and plans, but also very much by focusing on concrete results and actively hunting for business. During the past 17 years I have gained vast experience in the food an agribusiness ranging from working for a startup as well as stock-listed multinationals. I am available for both short term/specific assignments, as well as acting as interim commercial director on longer term assignments. Please get in touch if you have any ideas, questions, suggestions or to catch-up over a (digital) cup of coffee. I am looking forward to talking to you. Some examples of the projects I have been doing are:• Interim sales and marketing director EMEA for a company active in sustainable Functional Ingredients.• Developing a Go To Market strategy for a company that is introducing new plant based meat alternatives.• Creating a new sales strategy for Germany and Eastern Europe for a company active in further processed vegetables.• A marketing research project for a company supplying agricultural netting.I can be reached at: ton@FMCfoodandagri.com
