Meet Dimitri Hoeben, CMP’s New Business Development Manager for Benelux

CMP has recently welcomed Dimitri Hoeben as Business Development Manager for the Benelux region.

Dimitri joins at an exciting time for the business, with a focus on developing CMPs presence across Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, identifying new opportunities and building relationships with customers and distributors.

Bringing Industry Experience to CMP

Over the past decade Dimitri has worked for one of the largest cable and wire distributors, developing business across OEM, EPC and industrial customers across Europe. He previously gained experience in well recognised German manufacturers working closely with installers, engineering teams, distributors and manufactures.

Speaking about joining CMP, Dimitri said: “CMP combines several things that are very important to me: a strong technical product portfolio, high-quality products, an international presence and significant potential for further growth.”

Settling into the Role

During his first few months at CMP, Dimitri’s focus is to gain an in depth understanding of CMP’s complete product portfolio, capabilities and organisation.

Dimitri describes CMPs excellent reputation and decades of experience as a particular attraction to the role, alongside the opportunity to develop the Benelux market and build something further from a strong existing foundation, whilst reconnecting with his existing network.

Opportunities Across the Region

Although its still early days, Dimitri is looking forward to identifying new opportunities, developing relationships with end users, OEM’s, EPC’s, engineering companies and distributors.

“CMP already has a very strong product offering, technical expertise and international track record. I see opportunities not only in winning individual projects, but in getting CMP specified earlier in the engineering process and developing long term partnerships.”

Dimitri’s message is simple: “Please reach out. I’m looking forward to meeting new and existing customers, learn about each organisation and understanding applications and upcoming projects.”

Striving for Success

Dimitri describes success in his first year at CMP consisting of a healthy pipeline of new opportunities and strong relationships between customers and distributors being established.

Progress and results are Dimitri’s biggest motivators, he enjoys taking an opportunity from an initial conversation through to a real project or long-term customer relationship.

First Impressions

Something that stood out to Dimitri was how welcoming and open everyone was. He describes his week at CMP as being very positive.

“From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with how welcoming and open everyone was. My first days in Cramlington provided me with a much better understanding of the company and the people behind the products.”

Outside of CMP

When not at work, Dimitri enjoys spending time with his friends and family, he particularly enjoys travelling and discovering new food, as well as spending time with his dogs.

Speaking about Dimitri’s appointment, Jean-Baptiste Praud, Regional Sales Manager – Europe said: “We’re delighted to have Dimitri joining CMP products.
