Marcel Roelants

Marcel Roelants is General Manager & Owner at DS2B (consultancy/interim management), Advisor at Dusk Foundation and BitPay, Partner at Mazeus. Building organisations to deliver growth. Often companies are forgetting to make the required transition in the way they work, when they are scaling-up. Not always easy if you are used to work in a certain way, as it requires the right leadership. I have learned throughout my career how to drive change and growth. • Having spent years at corporates like GE and MasterCard I know how to develop solid growth strategies, integrate acquisitions and turnaround business units. By developing the right structure, building organisations and working with people, I deliver solid results. On top of that having worked with scale-ups most recently, this brought me even more focus to work in the most lean and efficient way, so that each product-market solution is developed, tested and implemented in a scalable way, with the right resources in place. • Being futuristic by nature I’m inspired to push the boundaries. My self-assured focus is allowing me to deliver results in a deliberate way, anticipating and solving obstacles when they arise. Over the years I have learned how to rally people together and rely on their talents, knowledge and experience. In this way I’m building partnerships to take on complex challenges and explore new territories. • Today I’m creating opportunities with scale-up companies to become more then what they are. By being the change agent, utilising my experience, I challenge the strategic plan, making sure the product-market solutions are scale-able. Coaching the team during the implementation phase, guarantees that the required focus is kept. I bring the executive power to drive growth or a turnaround. This could be from (advisory) board to (interim) COO. My most recent experience is with B2B companies in the FINTECH space, but as in the past I don’t limit myself to one specific industry.
