Description

Helping mission-driven SMEs and scale-ups scale globally with strategic vision and proven execution.

I am an Interim International Business Development & Licensing Executive with 15+ years of experience bridging the gap between global corporate discipline and SME agility. Based in Antwerp with full work authorization, I specialize in helping companies enter Latin America, Spain, and the UK while protecting their brand integrity and maximizing revenue.

Unlike traditional consultants, I bring a unique hybrid background:

Big Brand Rigor: 15+ years leading international divisions for Warner Bros., Turner Broadcasting (Cartoon Network), and IN ZONE Brands, managing Fortune 500 partnerships (Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestlé) and doubling licensing revenue.

SME Acumen: Deep experience working directly with SMEs to develop strategic market entry plans, solve complex operational bottlenecks, and drive growth with limited resources.
