About Maxence

I help automotive brands, importers, and mobility companies to succeed commercially in BeNeLux. I do this with nearly a decade of experience in fleet sales, dealer network development, leasing partnerships, and B2B distribution. My specialty lies in the market entry of Chinese automotive brands in Europe, an area where I have brought multiple brands from scratch to commercial scale.
Specifically, I work with clients on: setting up and expanding dealer networks in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg; structuring leasing and remarketing strategies; fleet and B2B sales acquisition with large captives and leasing companies (Arval, Athlon, ALD, Alphabet, and others); residual value positioning for new brands without a track record; and go-to-market plans for automotive launches. I am FSMA and VVD recognized, which allows me to also work compliantly on leasing files.
What sets me apart: I combine strategic analysis with hands-on execution. No powerpoints without traction, but concrete commercial results. Active in three languages: Dutch, French, and English, based in Flemish Brabant, available for assignments throughout BeNeLux.
