The France Specialist
Michel Overvoorde (founder and owner) is also the France specialist of Bizzpilot Europe.
My International Business and Languages education at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences forms an excellent broad basis for international business. I now have 25 years of experience in international business, in particular in setting up, supporting and managing distributor networks in Europe for various international manufacturers. I also lived and worked in France for 6 years, where I set up a French branch to further expand and support the local distributor network for an international producer.
As a specialist in B2B distribution, I have worked with many types of dealers in various sectors such as industrial suppliers, metalworking specialists, international mail order companies, safety specialists and hygiene specialists.
Having done many end-user visits with distributors to various industries (e.g automotive construction, aircraft construction, metalworking &machine construction, transport & logistics, the energy sector, (petro) chemical and food processing), I have a very good understanding of the French market and other European markets.
I am fluent (both spoken and written) in business English, French, German and Dutch. This makes me feel like at home in an international environment and allows me to adapt effortlessly to local conditions and customs.
I would like to take up the challenge of making your export wishes to France a business success!
