Viac o mne

Navigating the complexities of European market entry can be overwhelming. Many VPs of strategy and business development find themselves lost in a maze of diverse cultural nuances, regulations and competitive landscapes.

I specialize in clearing this path for tech-driven midsized companies looking to scale internationally. My focus? Market research, competitive intelligence, and B2B matchmaking tailored specifically for the European market.

My approach combines cutting-edge AI technology with a vast network of local experts across Europe. This unique blend allows me to offer: * Deep, data-driven market insights * Accurate competitive analysis * Targeted B2B connections

But I don't just hand over reports. I work alongside your team, providing hands-on assistance and proven go-to-market strategies. This practical support helps you navigate the real-world challenges of market entry.

The result? Faster market entry and accelerated sales growth in new European territories. My clients typically see a 30% reduction in time-to-market and a 40% increase in first-year sales compared to industry averages.

Ready to turn European expansion from a daunting challenge into a strategic advantage? Let's talk about how we can fast-track your company's growth in these lucrative markets.
