International Business Development

Business development can be viewed as a 3D interconnected matrix involving hundreds of different activities of which the principal building blocks are Strategy, Sales, Marketing, Communication, and Management, usually in an international context.

​

Over the past 2 decades, I have devised 2 methodologies to help me develop and implement business plans, regardless of the product or service, in any market, and for any company size, be it for Startups, Scale-ups, SMEs or Business Units of multinationals.

​

They are called 21P and SMarCoM.

How can my 21Ps help you?

"A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe." - Thomas Keller

​

In business, it is similar. It's not because you have the best recipe and the best ingredients, that your dish will be a success.

 

A chef makes the difference in knowing what to do, how to do it, when to do it, with whom to do it, and how to react quickly and efficiently in case of a deviation from the expected outcome. Because he's done it before.

​

There is no substitute for experience.

Knowledge can be taught, transferred, transmitted.

Not experience.

​

In International Business Development, I have the recipe and the know-how, you have the ingredients.

​

How about we work together?
