Description

General Management & Business Development Consultant | BENELUX Market Entry

What I've built:

I launched Oppizi across the BENELUX from scratch: Belgium (2020) → Netherlands (2021) → Luxembourg (2023). In 4 years, I took the company from 0 to €1.5M revenue and from 1 employee to 10+. I launched and developed all departments: sales, ops, finance, marketing, HR,...

Why I'm different:

Most consultants specialize. I don't and that's the advantage. I've worked in every department: managed P&L for 20+ stores at H&M, led a 10-person sales team at British American Tobacco, ran marketing campaigns, controlled budgets, built partnerships, and hired teams. When you hire me, you're not getting a narrow expert. You're getting someone who can diagnose problems across your entire business and fix them fast.

What I bring:

- Market entry expertise: I know how to launch in new countries (especially BENELUX) from legal setup to first revenue

- Commercial firepower: I've sold B2B, managed enterprise accounts, and built sales teams from scratch

- Operational rigor: P&L management, KPIs, supply chain, resource allocation

- Hands-on execution: No task is beneath me. I do the work, not just the strategy.

Languages: French (native), English (fluent), Dutch (fluent, 10+ years working in NL/BE)

Available immediately for 3-12 month missions. Let's talk.
