About Ralph

Driving revenue growth and digital sales transformation across Europe's leading brands.

Ralph Janssen is a seasoned Commercial Leader with a proven track record in accelerating eCommerce growth, scaling sales teams and transforming underperforming product categories. With more than a decade of experience at Samsung across B2B and B2C environments, Ralph brings clarity, commercial insight and executional strength to fast-moving, high-pressure business landscapes.

His career spans strategic roles in product management, sales and category leadership, where he has consistently delivered double-digit growth, market share gains and profit turnarounds.

The Career Inside

Ten years inside Samsung. Eight progressive roles.

Most senior commercial consultants have done a lap of multiple companies. Ralph did the opposite — building a decade of consumer electronics depth from Management Trainee through to Head of Category Management inside the same brand. The result is operating fluency you can't get from a CV with eight different logos on it.

10+ Years at Samsung A career built progressively from inside the world's largest consumer electronics brand — not absorbed in a six-month onboarding.
8 Progressive Roles Management Trainee through Account Manager, KAM, Senior KAM, Senior Product Manager B2B, Sales Manager and Head of Category Management.
B2B + B2C
+ D2C.
Operating Models Mobile & Tablet, Professional Display and Consumer Electronics — across every commercial model that matters.
Where Ralph Has Operated

Senior commercial leadership across Europe's most competitive brands.

Ralph has built his career inside top-tier consumer electronics and retail brands — the kinds of fast-moving, high-pressure environments where commercial discipline and category insight separate growth from stagnation.
