Working as consultant for several companies I am building up sales and technical networks in Europe. One customers I am allowed to mention is Samil Power, Chinese manufacturer of inverters for the PV industry. I have been acting as "Technical & Service Manager, Europe" establishing relations with O&M companies in several European countries, building up the SWAT system with a German electronics manufacturer and service provider, communicating with TÜV and Bureau Veritas for the certificates, etc.

Although employed by Epuron, due to the global restructuring of the Conergy Group, I was building up the brand presence of voltwerk in Europe (except DACH and Italy), and coordinating the O&M for over 120 MW installed power in Spain.

As part of the reorganization of the Conergy Group, I was asked to lead the required changes in the O&M for all Large Scale Projects under contract.

As part of the reorganization of the Conergy Group, I took over the binding of all after sales and O&M of the brands in Spain. (Conergy, SunTechnics and Epuron) We unified after sales, technical service, maintenance for Large Scale Projects, etc. eliminating redundancies in the structure and reducing overall costs and reaction time.

The MD gave me the challenge to change the commercial structure from a small branch to the number one distributor in Spain for renewable energy technology. In less than half a year I build up a sales team of 19 persons, reorganizing procedures, work and communication flow, training, etc. Opened branches in Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia, Valladolid, Vigo, Canary Islands and Palma de Mallorca. I was responsible of all sales in all technical divisions (PV, Thermal (solar hot water) Heat pumps, wind, etc.)

Promotion of golf resorts on the Spanish coast. As Branch Manager DACH, based in Cologne (Germany) I was in charge of the German, Austrian and Swizz market. Most interesting part of the job was to “translate” the culture, the philosophy, the marketing messages between the Spanish and German mentality.

As International Sales Manager for the leading Spanish manufacturer of metal cabel management systems and flexible conduits, my job was to change from white branded manufacturing for well known brands (Schneider, Legrand, Cooper, B-Line, Wibe, etc.) to a worldwide own brand presence. We exported PEMSA products even as far as the other side of the world (New Zeeland), made distribution agreements all over Europe and build up own subsidiaries in the UK and Portugal.

As Import Purchaser for one of the principal German catalogue and wholesale distributor of electric material I was in charge of all procurements outside Germany and Austria. I bought mostly from Chinese, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese manufacturers. I was Product Manager for telecommunications, consumer electronics, TV and SAT products. I also looked for special products and gadgets for our monthly commercial actions.

Supply Chain Manager of the biggest Spanish distributor of spare parts and electronic components for brown and white goods. Purchasing, logistics, stock control, warehouse handling, etc. for more than 40 000 references. During that time we were able to secure the exclusive distribution of spare parts for Spain for several well known brands (Philips, Thomson, Nokia, Samsung, Whirlpool, etc.) I was also Product Manager for Clare Components, American manufacturer of telecommunication components for OEM.

Build up the Spanish subsidiary for the German manufacturer of medical equipment Schumacher & Partner. Specialised in physiotherapy and rehabilitation equipment I sold and installed treatment centres in some of the most famous Spas in Spain. (Puente Viesgo, Mondariz, Fitero, Ledesma, etc.) Legal claims between the German owners forced the closing of the subsidiary.
