Work Experience

Comparex Nederland BV August 2000 - 2003
Comparex has been selling IBM-compatible mainframes, tape- and disk storage and printers. They have represented the Hitachi OEM equipment until the end of 1999. Then they left the mainframe-reseller market and repositioned themselves as an infrastructure integrator in the open systems market. After an earlier takeover, the European part of Comparex (1000 FTE’s) became independent again through a MBO.
Comparex had to sell “solutions” rather than products en wanted to develop a strong consultancy/Professional Services ability. That particular area is my background, reason why I joined first as a Manager Services

Manager Services
In the new setup Comparex became responsible for the availability and performance of the technical infrastructure of customers. The demands are defined by business (process) demands. It is therefore essential to be the primary contact point for the customer.
Given that I have reorganized the loss making service department. I changed the people, skills and the structure of Professional Services. The Customer Services (re-pair/maintenance) is outsourced to a Comparex partner. There were possible and appro-priate the result responsibility (including financial contribution) is pushed to the depart-ments.

Managing Director
After one year, the European management has asked me to take the Managing Director position. The financial and organization/business structure position of the Dutch subsidiary was in a bad shape. The (Dutch) company faced an extreme high cost structure, no clear strategy and choices (markets, solutions, customer profiles, partners, etc.), a financial reporting structure aimed at product sales, poor sales performance, etc. Internally we referred to ourselves as “a start-up company that existed for over 25 years”. Effectively we had almost no existing customer base.
I have addressed all of the above issues: restructuring of the organization, dramatic reduction of headcount (mainly overhead) but also influx of new people, realigned the cost structure, defined strategy and made choices in offerings and markets, implemented new information systems etc. I also started an Infrastructure Consultancy department (assess and define infrastructure based upon business requirements) that was very successful.
