BIOGRAPHY
“My career started in 1982 at the “Basisresearch Institute” (WPP Group). After 6 years working experience in leading marketing consultancies, I gained 10 years operational know-how – managing a retail and food service network – incl. negotiation of advanced buying conditions and development of progressive CRM in line with direct marketing concepts.In 2004 “Phillips Foods” asked me, to lead their European Business Development – I established (from scratch) a distribution network for chilled and frozen food specialties in Austria, Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Spain and Switzerland. In 2006/7 I developed new customer relations for “Binca Group” a specialized supplier of organic and natural aquaculture products from Vietnam.
Following my interest to explore business opportunities in emerging markets, I joined a GLOBAL LOTTERY OPERATOR – coaching and controlling various Lottery and Sports Betting Companies in Africa – Angola, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Asia – Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Laos, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and South America – Suriname.”
