Business development
Identify customers, distributors or new channels, open the right conversations and support negotiations toward a commercial agreement.
I develop new markets, connect the right companies and take a direct role in negotiations through to closing the deal.
I research the market and choose introductions worth making. Then I speak with each side, understand their priorities and prepare a conversation with a clear purpose. AI helps me research; trust, negotiation and closing still happen between people.
“His versatility and ability to adapt to any kind of situation.”
“He made a process that can be overwhelming, simple and enjoyable.”
The first testimonial has been translated from Spanish.
Identify customers, distributors or new channels, open the right conversations and support negotiations toward a commercial agreement.
Find companies with complementary strengths, define mutual interest and structure a collaboration that works for both sides.
Support owners considering a partner, a sale or succession, coordinating the specialist advisers each transaction requires.
I take on engagements where I see a real opportunity to contribute. We agree on the objective, I find the right people and take part in the decisive conversations until the terms are clear.
Goals, boundaries, motivations and decision criteria.
Markets, companies and people with a credible fit.
Thoughtful introductions and conversations between decision makers.
Align interests, address objections and move toward clear terms.
My career spans sales, export and real estate. I founded RESS — Real Estate San Sebastián, working with owners, buyers and investors from several countries. That experience confirmed that my strongest contribution is understanding both sides and helping them reach an agreement.
I work from San Sebastián in Spanish, English and French, alongside specialist legal, financial and sector advisers when an engagement calls for them.
A selection of companies I have worked with and the role I played in each. Different sectors, the same work: opening markets, developing relationships and turning opportunities into business.
