PATRICK ROMBOUTS

"Patrick’s business knowledge is surely evident in the European region but his perspective spans across Asia too. I had known Patrick for 7 years, his impeccable management style for the WotC Europe business had always been an inspiration to me to continuously level up our Asia’s model. Over the last 2 years I had the good privileged of working even closer with him, tapping on his wealth of commercial experiences, Patrick had provided pertinent advice and unreserved guidance helping me solved many difficult in-market issues/ challenges, from Thailand to South Korea to China mainland. Patrick’s understanding for the business strategy is one that surpass industries and geographical region. I am grateful to have the opportunity to learn form a true business leader!​"

"Meer dan 19 jaar heb ik met plezier met Patrick samengewerkt en aan hem gerapporteerd.

Zijn authenticiteit, zijn vastberadenheid, zijn vermogen om te luisteren, erkenning te tonen en te volharden, droegen bij tot wie ik ben vandaag.

Ongeacht de omstandigheden en de soms harde momenten die ons bedrijf doormaakte, koos Patrick ervoor zijn team te blijven motiveren en het op zo'n manier uit te dagen dat elkeen zich gesterkt voelt dat hoger doel na te streven. Als geen ander begrijpt hij dat de sleutel tot succes ligt in het beste uit je mensen halen . Dit onderscheidt hem duidelijk van alle andere leiders die ik ontmoette binnen ons bedrijf. Daarnaast resulteerde zijn projectbeheerskwaliteiten tot gerespecteerde deadlines enerzijds en bracht zijn strategisch inzicht anderzijds heel vaak opportuniteiten waar niemand anders ooit aan gedacht zou hebben."

Helping other's growth is in Patrick's nature - this is what I felt from day one when I started working for him. I had a pleasure being a part of his commercial team at Wizards of the Coast between 2012 - 2016. I was impressed by Patrick's coaching skills and the ability to provoke solution-focused thinking. "Without your success, I can't be successful." - I remember this principle and use it myself in everyday practice. No doubt about it, Patrick will continue to do what he does so well - helping businesses grow.​

"Patrick is an insightful leader and a visionary person. He understands the leadership function perfectly by adding sales people with different skill sets. As the commercial head of WotC he was always open for new strategies and tactics to increase visibility and reach of WotC's products in emerging markets. I very much enjoyed his supportive attitude and clear objectives which made it easy for a sales person reaching goals. Most importantly he knows how to manage a group with different skills, experiences and sales attitudes and gives 100% support to his sales team. Working with and for Patrick was an important experience for me and I would join his leadership anytime again! "
