Marc is where the Doer meets the Thinker: with extensive operational experience he Shares his vision on #DeepTechSeries #GreenTechSeries #AsiaSeries #CultureSeries
He is an accomplished international business leader, with over fifteen years of experience in business development, startup enablement, sales and strategy roles. He has extensive
experience in HP (3D Printing), Unilever and Samsung and a cohort of high-tech Startups backed up by an INSEAD MBA and master’s degrees in both Law and Business
Marc has now embarked in a personal project to solve a problem he has seen repeatedly: great technologies are lost due to the lack of business acumen of brilliant engineers. We are now building a system to work with "deep tech" engineers to transform their technologies into actual businesses by partnerering, building a service and operationalizing the idea.
He decided to embark in this journey after his latest drive to build HP’s Industrial 3D printing Division in Asia Pacific from scratch:
Hired as the first full time employee, while he waited for reinforcements I spent 16 months running around China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, India, Singapore meeting customers and setting up 20+ reselling partners across all the region
Once he proved the potential of the region, he started hiring a sales team in all key countries. Then he led the operational set up for the whole 3D printing business in the APAC region. From logistics, financials, to sales operations including reviewing and editing the partner and customer contracts for every country (his law degree came in handy) he had to define how the business would operate
The combination of frameworks, people and ideas we built will, hopefully, have a lasting impact on the definition of this industry across APAC for years to come
