About
Built on 15 years of doing this. Not advising on it.
I'm Adam Banaszak. I've spent the last six years living and working across Asia Pacific in senior commercial leadership roles: General Manager at Trouw Nutrition (Nutreco/SHV), Director of Global Channel Management at NOVUS International (Mitsui), and Global Chief Commercial Officer at SyAqua Group.
Before that, I built and scaled businesses in European energy markets, including launching a greenfield business unit that grew to multi-million Euro revenue in a short time.
In APAC, I've been to almost every country in the region. I've sat across the table from distributors and key accounts from India to Japan, and learned how trust is built, negotiations unfold, and decisions are made differently in each market. I've managed over €50M in P&L, built multicultural teams of 50+ people across APAC, and delivered results like doubling profitability year-over-year and growing a business 3x under difficult market conditions.
I know the distributors. I know the customers. I understand the cultural dynamics that make or break deals in this region, and I know how to work within them.
