About Zoltan

With nearly three decades of international experience, I help companies improve operations, sales, logistics and workforce performance through practical, execution-oriented support. I’ve held senior roles at Coca-Cola HBC and Lancer Worldwide, led complex distribution networks, managed supply chains, and built logistics businesses from the ground up.

My core strengths lie in:
- Operational efficiency: fleet and route optimization, dispatch process design, equipment lifecycle management
- Workforce integration: recruitment strategies, onboarding of Eastern European personnel, team stabilization
- Interim leadership: I support companies that need executive-level results, without the fixed cost of full-time hires
- Project structuring and funding: successful management of EU-funded startup initiatives (100% approval rate)

Currently based in the Netherlands, I’m available for both remote and on-site support across Europe. I enjoy working with ambitious SMEs that want to grow without chaos and that value speed, structure and trust.
