She is a well-respected person by international companies. Thinking inside the box for more effective exposure.
“Companies will benefit from my fresh approach, understanding multi-cultural team dynamics and decision-making processes. This always leads to long term results, effective strategic alliances and customer satisfaction. Balancing a drive for growth and team motivation. When faced with challenging situations, my focused approach leads to collective success.”
Vision and ambition:
“In contrast to many of which are thinking “outside of the box”, Leontine believes to look “into the box”. Having a very hands-on approach on what the opportunities within your company or organization are for innovation in product ranges, marketing and vm (visual merchandising).
Good strategy is powered by the Time Spirit and comes with deep research. It will result in inspiring strategies that suits your business. To make your brand ready for export to Asia, or to make asian brands ready for export to Europe. I am always focused to get the optimum result.
From my experience in children’s fashion, I have developed a colorful view and a playful approach on everything what has to do with design and marketing. Teaching and coaching is like a second nature for me. Sharing is caring!
