Back to original languageAbout Olivier
Business consulting professional in the development of their international commercial activities.
With a network of contacts, I facilitate the opening of distribution channels in retail, specialized distribution, and online formats.
Expert in the Asia-Pacific region (15 years in China, 7 in Japan), fluent in Chinese and Japanese, I know how to adapt brand offerings to specific markets and develop sales in complex territories.
Specializing in agri-food products, fashion, and cosmetics, I work with brands that have potential, whether well-known or more discreet, always with the aim of determining their strengths and unique characteristics for each territory.
My companies are present in Hong Kong and Tokyo, and more recently in Cape Town, to optimize presence with regional operators and ensure the economic performance of the mission.
