Currently I have the pleasure and privilege of working as the VP of Greater China (based in Shanghai) for the VITEC Group plc, which is dedicated to providing outstanding products and services to the imaging industry.Throughout my career I had the opportunity of working in multiple cultures in Europe and Asia within so different sectors as Fashion (B2C), Energy (B2B) and Imaging Industry/Durable Consumer Goods (B2C) holding Senior positions in Sales, Operations, Marketing as well as General Management with a full P&L responsibility. My wide profile combined with my global experience has provided me with a solid understanding of how the various areas of the business “plays” together, and a holistic view on how to manage and develop teams across cultures and markets.Professional achievements:Establishing ECCO’s own business unit in the China market and drove the commercial side of the business to become profitable within 1st year of operations while improving the brand’s market position.Establishing and developing the ecommerce business of VITEC in China delivering strong results both in terms of top and bottom line.Developing and implementing China strategies for ECCO, VESTAS and VITEC driving the companies to gain more market share and an overall stronger market position.Developed and executed organizational restructurings leading towards leaner but stronger teams, capable of delivering good results in a new omni-channel based structure.Delivering a double digit growth in a contracting industry through developing and executing growth strategies.On a personal level, I am an optimist with a strong drive, and I enjoy taking on new challenges which is what originally drove me to look beyond just one area of business in one specific market. My international experience and capability to build bridges between cultures/people is one of my biggest assets which I constantly draw upon both in my professional and personal life.
