Short Introduction:
I have had a varied career, as you can
see from the details listed below, I have been working
with main frame computers in data collation, before discovering
that the best way of using my talent was in sales / product
management or technical sales. I have used this ability
to create a business, in Scandinavia in the eighties with,
prior to its sale, 16 people employed (Data-Visual). And
since 1988 I have been traveling and lived in Singapore.
I have an entrepreneurial attitude and have experience
working for "start-ups" in the region.
My experience is in both distribution,
channel management / setup as well as OEM / direct large
customer sales and management of the resulting issues.
I have a wide range of contacts throughout
the region and have during the years traveled to all the
countries ranging from Korea, Taiwan down-to Australia
and the Asean Region.
The skills that I can bring to you are
the ability to open doors, ensure press coverage of events,
conduct seminars, product presentations, and close the
sales. Due to this I have a good understanding of the
cultural obstacles which can present themselves and I
have working knowledge of how to overcome / circumvent
them.
It will be my pleasure to provide references
and sales references from the companies I have been with
after the sale of Data Visual.
I am married to Alexis, a Singaporean
Chinese, and I have been a Permanent Resident in Singapore
since 1993.
