An experienced international business development professional in his mid-thirties with a strong background in international sales, marketing, and business strategy is actively seeking opportunities for a management buy-in (MBI).
His preference is for a product company (as opposed to services or software platforms) in a BtB or BtBtC environment. He is passionate about products that are comprehensible to the layman, spanning industries from manufacturing machines to design furniture. He is eager to operationally join an existing founder team and actively contribute to international expansion as a full member of the team.
Having lived and worked across Africa, Australia, Spain, and Belgium (where he is currently residing), the candidate is open to relocation but prefers the target company to have a Belgian base.
Born and raised in an entrepreneurial family, he values integrity, loyalty, respect, and long-term relationships above short-term wins through hard selling.
The target company should be financially healthy and geared toward growth.
He is willing to invest between €500,000 and €750,000 of personal capital, with a leveraged upside toward a total investment of €1.5 million.
