Background

About Frank Gentner

More than 40 years of experience as a consultant and as a Manager/Director within multinationals as well as startups and scale-ups in various industries (Automotive, Semiconductor, Fencing & Security, Machinery engineering and production, Shipbuilding, Plastics, Chemical, Telecom). Experience in developing prototypes to market ready and worldwide distribution of IOT solutions in the Sensors technology with associated Business Models. Central to my way of working is the added value for the customer, which is leading for the organizational design and the development and management of strong partnerships in the value chain. Enthusiastic, driven and inspiring reformer who translates an idea into practice and keeps an eye on the bigger picture Strategic, analytical and decisive people manager who looks ahead and focuses on achieving shared success Direct and powerful relationship manager that brings people together to negotiate solutions What drives me? I get enormous energy to develop and market a new product/service together with a team that makes an important contribution to a more beautiful and sustainable world. Because few ideas in their original form ultimately become a success, I think it is important to create a culture in which failure is accepted. A systematic process of validated learning must be central to this. The sooner we learn from a customer perspective that our assumptions are wrong, the faster we can make adjustments to improve our business model. Thanks to my expertise in the field of Innovation, Purchasing, Production, logistics and quality management in different industries, I have a broad view of things. Interested? Call +31 6 1663 2441
