Bio
Bart De Souter
Hi, I trully loved working together with Lluis on international accounts in the food industry on behalf of Vandemoortele. He's a true professional sales manager, good in communication and closely following up on all aspects with key customers. Louis is a pragmatic key account manager, fluent in English and open minded. I wish him all the best in finding a new challenge as KA manager in a B2B environment because that fits him perfectly. Kind regards, Bart

Lluis is a very passionate person translating this into his daily job. He is very open to innovation, always having new ideas to approach the customer. This, together with his solid technical background make him one of the best commercials I've worked with. He understands and knows the market very well bringing this knowledge to his customers in an easy and comprehensive way. Having and maintaining good relationships are also one of the strongest points of Lluis making him reliable and trustworthy.
