Description

Dear future partner,

Do you want to grow your business with strategic partnerships and smart growth strategies? I am Dirk Verheyen, a driven Business Development Manager with over 30 years of experience, ready to propel your organization to new heights. With my hands-on approach, coaching leadership style, and talent for unlocking markets, I deliver measurable results that fulfill your ambitions.

What makes me unique? My broad background as a generalist provides a fresh perspective on your challenges. As Sales & Marketing Manager at GlobeZenit (2010-present), I opened new markets and built sustainable networks, leading to consistent growth. At CEVA Logistics (2006-2010), I managed a team of 30 professionals in a global control tower, where I successfully managed complex projects for clients like General Motors and Microsoft with innovative solutions under pressure. At Concentra Media (1992-2006), I grew from Customer Service Officer to Project Manager, where I implemented IT projects and coached teams of 20 employees towards efficiency. My multilingualism (Dutch, English, French, German) opens doors to international opportunities.

Curious how I can boost your business? Let's connect and collaborate on your success!
