À propos de Jurgen
I help international B2B companies enter, validate and grow across France and the Benelux by combining business development, go-to-market execution, commercial strategy, lead generation, sales funnel design, strategic partnerships and new channel development.
Senior trilingual FR/NL/EN consultant with 20+ years of experience in business development, key account management, export, entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainability, fundraising and transition management. Former founder & CEO of an innovative circular economy start-up, I managed up to 19 FTE, generated multi-million-euro business traction and built complex commercial and partnership ecosystems.
I support startups, SMEs, scale-ups, consulting firms and international companies with market validation, partner identification, key account opening, offer structuring, qualified opportunity generation, business planning and commercial ecosystem building.
Remote-first. Available for freelance, interim or contract missions, with occasional on-site presence in Belgium, France, the Benelux and Europe when needed.
J’aide les entreprises internationales B2B à entrer, tester et développer les marchés France-Benelux grâce au business development, au go-to-market, à la stratégie commerciale, à la génération de leads, aux partenariats stratégiques et à l’ouverture de nouveaux canaux.
