WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

From diagnosis to execution.

The model depends on the challenge, the company’s stage and the level of responsibility I should take — from an independent diagnostic and ongoing leadership support to stepping into the organisation and leading the change.

Other ways to work together

When growth slows, another campaign is rarely the answer.

Most companies fix the wrong thing.

Symptom

Sales are falling.

Reflex

We change agency.

Common cause

The offer and the price no longer fit the customer. A new agency won't fix that.

Symptom

Acquiring each new customer costs more.

Reflex

We increase the budget.

Common cause

A leaking conversion funnel. More traffic means bigger losses.

Symptom

No clear idea for growth.

Reflex

We rebrand.

Common cause

Nobody has worked out where the company actually makes money. A new logo won't show that.

Do any of these situations sound familiar?

If at least two of these situations apply to your company, the problem probably does not lie in a single area. It usually lies in the way the offer, marketing, sales, customer experience and data work together.

SELECTED TRANSFORMATIONS

Growth starts with an accurately defined problem.

Situations in which the right diagnosis, a bold decision and consistent execution translated into a real business result.

RETAIL · OMNICHANNEL · 4 MARKETS

01

Taking a traditionally offline product online

Challenge
Prescription glasses were sold exclusively through the physical store network. The online channel was not creating an additional source of growth.
What we did
Launching an online sales model connected to the store network and building a process in which e-commerce supported the whole business instead of competing with the physical channel.

Result

+45% year-on-year online sales growth

CRM · LOYALTY · 5 MARKETS

02

Getting a strategic loyalty programme back on track

Challenge
A key programme was delayed, with fragmented accountability and insufficient implementation pace.
What we did
Taking ownership of the project, clarifying accountability, rebuilding the team and connecting data, CRM, communication and customer activation mechanisms.

Result

14M+ members

–20% customer acquisition cost

+20% active customers

DIGITAL GROWTH · NEW SERVICE · 6 MARKETS

03

Scaling adoption of a new service

Challenge
The service was already available, but the number of active users remained well below its potential.
What we did
Bringing brand, digital channels, data and activation of existing customers into one growth plan, and focusing on adoption rather than campaign reach alone.

Result

From 0.5 to 3M users in four months

AI TRANSFORMATION

AI should change the company's results. Otherwise it's just another tool.

I help choose the processes in which AI genuinely reduces cost, saves time, improves decision quality or increases sales — and then move from pilot to safe implementation.

ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE TABLE

Strategy only makes sense when it can be implemented.

For more than 20 years I was responsible for brand growth, sales and transformation in companies operating across many markets. I know the pressure of delivering results, the constraints of an organisation, and the difference between a recommendation that looks good in a presentation and a decision that works in the P&L.

I don't arrive with a ready-made model. First I establish where the business is losing value. Then I work with the board and the team on a solution that can be implemented, measured and scaled.

  • Diagnosis based on data and business economics
  • Decisions instead of another presentation
  • Working with the team until the change works
