CLIENT FEEDBACK

Jalmar is a senior consultant in OTC as well the prescription drug business. We have experienced him to be a strong cross-functional worker, structured, creative and business focused. Very professional!

Pfizer Paul Boeren, Strategic Excellence Lead

I had the pleasure of working with Jalmar for four years at Boehringer Ingelheim, where he consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic vision. Jalmar’s ability to navigate complex commercial environments and deliver outstanding results was truly impressive. His expertise in e-retail and business strategy, combined with his innovative approach, significantly contributed to our commercial success. Beyond his professional skills, Jalmar is a fantastic person to work with. He is collaborative, supportive, and always willing to go the extra mile for the team. His positive attitude and dedication were a source of inspiration for everyone around him. I highly recommend Jalmar for any future role particularly with his move into consultancy. His passion, expertise, and character make him a valuable asset to any organization.

Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH Christopher Mummery ,Global Head of Animal Health Consumer Business

I have worked with Jalmar over the last 3 years in three major strategic programs. Two in the Benelux and one in Denmark and Sweden. The first two projects were concerning a channel optimization strategy, involving my whole team. We were able to identify the improvement points and tackle them. It really was a turn around resulting in very high return on investment measured in sales and profitability. The last program has been very complex and I can say that without the support and leadership of Jalmar in this, the projects would not have been finished successfully. I would strongly recommend Jalmar to take a look at your business. I am sure they will find ways to optimize it!

Merial Animal Health Erik Pieke, Country Manager Merial

I had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Jalmar, whose leadership style is marked by openness and humility. His mentorship is inspiring, always encouraging us to challenge the status quo in pursuit of superior results. Jalmar possesses a unique ability to simplify complex data through his exceptional analytical and presentation skills. I have had the privilege of witnessing his significant influence on high-level decision-making on numerous occasions. His contribution to the organisation has been invaluable, and I wholeheartedly endorse his leadership and analytical capabilities.

Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH Edmund Wa, Global Retail & E-Retail Excellence Manager

I can unreservedly recommend and endorse Jalmars credentials as a Marketing and Commercial Operations business leader. He demonstrated outstanding executive team and cross-functional leadership skills which secured the engagement of his teams towards the vision and goals he established with them. He introduced Annual Brand Planning process based around consumer insights and supported by robust fact based analysis utilising models which he introduced. He has a very strong and deep first hand experience of FMCG Trade Marketing and Key Account competencies which he applied to the OTC business in NL exploiting non-traditional OTC channel opportunities. Has a wealth of digital marketing experience applied to the OTC industry.

Novartis Mick Clayton, BU Head Benelux

Jalmar is an expert in the OTC business and was therefore hired at Sandoz. In a short period of time he succeeded to deliver a challenging strategic plan. From the first moment on he shared his knowledge and experience with me which made us a strong team. Jalmar is a very professional consultant and pleasant person to work with.

Sandoz Marleen Jonkman, Sandoz (a Novartis company)

During Jalmar’s interim period at J&J Consumer he met all and exceeded most objectives and job expectations. Jalmar delivered great results and is a role model of leadership behavior.He helped developing our marketing talents to a higher level and his OTC experience has been of help to our organization. We received positive feedback from both the employees as well the management team about Jalmar’s performance during his temporary assignment.

Johnson & Johnson Hans van Doggenaar, General Manager J&J Consumer

Jalmar and his team have completed a fact based and strategic analysis on a part of the Pfizer’s product portfolio in a relatively short period. By integrating DRA, marketing and sales approaches, they identified areas of future business potential and validated these with consumer research. Jalmar is a business consultant with deep knowledge of the subject, strategic insight and who delivers excellent results on time.

Pfizer Hans Drieman, Business Unit Director Established Products (the Netherlands) at Pfizer

It has been a pleasure working with Jalmar. His expertise, network and professionalism in OTC was a welcome addition to our local commercial team. In no time he delivered a strategic plan.
