Mark Vermeulen

Summary

I have 25+ year experience in the High tech industry (B2B). I held various positions in strategy development, product management, new business development and sales with top and bottom line responsibility. I have always shown my passion in identification of early stage business opportunities based on listening to customers and prospects and translating those requirements into new product and value propositions. My ability to identify such opportunities has lead to the unique situation that I have applied (often with a team) for in excess of 16 patents. I have built up a strong track record in creating strong multichannel businesses. Working with agents, distributors (online and offline) and wholesalers plus direct sales. Not only sales, but also setting up sales support (first and second line), pricing guidance, training are part of the package that sales partners experience to ensure all can deliver or exceed their targets. I am adept at utilizing leadership skills to direct teams in developing and implementing product vision and strategy with keen focus on improving product capabilities. I have expertise in bringing technology and business together and communicate complex topics in a simple way. Talking further about my expertise, I like to think of myself as a ‘jack of all trades’. I am willing to bring a range of skills to the new challenge, including building and growing highly motivated teams by delivering effective mentorship and supervision. Especially now that remote working has gained in importance is is vital as a manager to maintain good contact with all team members regardless where they work.
