Work Experience

In 2000 I sold my interest in Intactix. Since then I have worked on a project basis in interim management and market research for such clients as as Kenosia, Xelion, and FeedDex. My current assignment, full-time since May 2002, is as Franchise Manager for Simon Lévelt, a Dutch specialty retail chain of 26 stores. I now seek a longer-term opportunity to manage and initiate growth within an internationally-operating company with recognized funding and competence resources. I intend to further my record of success in business building and can be available for employment as of September 2004.
