About Tom

+10 years of experience in spirits (at Pernod Ricard, 2nd largest in the world) and food supplements (Hydratis, fastest growing brand in pharmacies).

I support SMEs/startups in their launches in the pharmacy channel (France & Export) through my strategic, commercial, and operational skills.

2 potential thoughts from your side:
  • The pricing seems high...
-> Outsource your expansion, in a structured and agile way, by following the progress and delaying the need for internal resources (before generating very short-term export revenue). Everything from strategy to market launch, then growth.

  • How are you different from other freelancers?
-> Experience in startups and multinationals, in strategy and operations, in 4 different countries (12 years abroad) and combined skills in marketing/sales
