Stop Guessing Your Supply Chain. Verify with Real Trade Data. If you are tired of dealing with hidden trading company markups, unreliable manufacturers, or unexpected customs delays, I am here to secure and optimize your international operations. As a Fractional Import-Export & Sourcing Consultant with over 25 years of hands-on seniority, I help companies bypass middlemen and audit their entire supply chain architecture using hard customs data. What I Bring to Your Project: • Verified Supplier & Product Sourcing: I trace global shipments to identify original, primary manufacturers—saving you from agent overheads. • Trade Intelligence & Supply Chain Mapping: Using tools like Volza, Big Trade Data, and Trade Map, I legally audit your competitors' suppliers and verify actual import-export records. • OEM & Technical Sourcing: Extensive experience in handling custom factory productions, technical product specifications, and industrial quality compliance. • Customs, Tariff & HS Code Optimization: Correctly classifying goods to reduce tariff risks and ensure seamless cross-border compliance. Industry Specialization: Chemicals & Industrial Goods While I have successfully managed international procurement for a wide range of industrial equipment, raw materials, and textiles, I possess a deep, specialized niche in Chemical Raw Materials, working directly with global production and distribution networks. My Working Model: I operate on a fractional basis (15–30 hours per week), offering ongoing, retainer-based strategic support. You get the oversight of an enterprise-level Trade Director without the full-time executive overhead. 🛑 Please Note: My services are strictly data-driven procurement and actionable sourcing. I do not provide generic web research, SEO leads, or simple scraping. Let's discuss how we can de-risk your next shipment. Click "Invite" to start the conversation.

My comprehensive proficiency across the entire sales cycle, from strategic cold calling to strategic key account management, sets me apart as a results-driven professional. Key Highlights: Sales Dynamo: I've successfully generated more than 65 million Euros in sales over the course of my career.

Global Acumen: With a rich tapestry of experiences gained from working across various countries, I possess a deep understanding of cross-cultural dynamics and how to tailor strategies for different markets. My unique blend of Dutch, German, and Turkish academic backgrounds (One bachelor's and two master's degrees) adds an extra layer of versatility to my approach. Holistic Sales Mastery: My skills extend across the spectrum – from being a proactive sales hunter who identifies and capitalizes on new business prospects, to being a skilled sales farmer who nurtures existing relationships to cultivate long-term loyalty.

(Key) Account Management Customer Relationship Building & Retention Sales Management Cold Calling & Lead Generation Notable Accomplishments in Previous Roles: *Achieved a cumulative revenue of over €60 million during my tenure at Informa Markets/UBM Plc. (later acquired by Informa). *Successfully introduced three new country pavilions to the inaugural CPhI virtual exhibition at Informa Markets, resulting in more than 65k in revenue. This achievement was particularly significant as it was the first virtual CPhI exhibition, necessitated by the pandemic, and no country pavilion sales were initially forecasted due to long decision making process/sales cycle. *Consistently boosted annual repeat business by an average of 16% while working at Informa Markets/UBM Plc. *Earned two consecutive promotions at UBM Plc. within just six months, primarily due to exceptional lead conversion rates and a demonstrated ability to increase repeat business. *Secured the first-ever Turkish client for Chipsource, marking a historic milestone for the company. *Secured the initial sponsorship sale for the startup IBDG, subsequently generating €60k in revenue in a challenging sales environment. Notably, this achievement occurred in an environment with limited computer resources shared among multiple salespeople and high turnover rates. Attained the "Employee of the Month" distinction consistently throughout my tenure at IBDG. *Substantially grew business from Turkish clients at Chempoint, a wholly owned subsidiary of Univar, with the added distinction of hosting multiple visits from Turkish clients, a previously uncommon occurrence due to the company's focus on phone sales and marketing. Why Work With Me? Proven ability to drive sales and revenue growth. Extensive experience in client management and key account nurturing. Multilingual capabilities to enhance cross-cultural interactions. A strategic thinker who thrives on challenges and innovative solutions. A commitment to excellence and delivering exceptional results.
