Background

About Keesjan van der Elst

25 years of experience as an international marketing and sales professional. Passionate about building people, companies and teams to achieve results. Commercially driven with a strategic mindset, always aligning with market dynamics, because the market is always right. Focussed on spotting opportunities, backing potential, and turning ideas into real-world success. Equally at home on the floor with operational teams as in tactical discussions with sales, where real impact is made (= more sales!). Clear positioning and the right market approach set the foundation for everything that follows. I believe proactive sales is the way: While reactive sales is like fishing from the shore, proactive sales uses sonar, a boat, and a plan. Guess who comes home with dinner. A hard-earned wisdom: People aren't just assets, they are the #1 asset. Spent recent years on high-level international market management and strategic product placement.
