Background

About Tom van Aarle

Managing a team of Product Managers and a portfolio of brands including Medeli, Sennheiser, NUX, and Crumar. I am an experienced professional in international product management, procurement, and supply chain, combining a strong analytical mindset with a creative approach. In my current role, I manage the full product lifecycle – from market analysis and strategic planning to supplier relations, pricing, and successful product launches. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with people. Whether with suppliers, partners, or colleagues, I quickly break the ice and build trust, creating the foundation for strong, lasting relationships. My background in education has sharpened my empathy, communication, and coaching skills, enabling me to align diverse stakeholders and turn collaboration into concrete results. Outside the office, I stay active as a performing musician, which keeps me close to the market and fuels my passion for products that inspire creativity. Recognised as social, approachable, and solutions-oriented, I thrive in international and dynamic environments where strategy, data, and human connection go hand in hand.
