About Alexander

Part-time consultant - Animal health and agri-food sector - to establish a business in the UK

I support companies in the animal health and agri-food sector - particularly SMEs and independent structures - wishing to enter the British market or develop a lasting presence there.
I have managed companies, developed sales figures, managed international teams, and worked closely with commercial, marketing, and operational teams in Europe and the UK. I have a strong grasp of both the strategic issues and the operational realities of exporting to the UK, especially in the post-Brexit context.
I have a pragmatic, structured, and results-oriented approach. I work closely with management teams and act as a true extension of your company, not just an external consultant.
