Roland is a creative business leader with excellent skills to lead and manage results-oriented teams. I've known Roland since he worked as Regional Sales Manager for Nalco's Paper Division in Europe. As in his previous Production Manager role for a leading company in Italy, Roland demonstrated, as Sales Manager for Central Europe, the ability to consolidate, manage and develop a large team of business professionals oriented toward continuous improvement and improved business results, always with a well balanced strategic and pragmatic approach. In addition to his multi-cultural global business experience, Roland is a great team-player and a pleasure to work with.
