Neil Simmons

Entrepreneur/CEO, Mentor/Coach, Negotiator/Deal Closer at NEGOSI and Grozeries

My experience and deep interests:

• Business Development

• Fashion

• Food

I am based in: Amsterdam

I have focused my career on international growth and management in positions ranging from Sales Director to CEO mainly within SMEs. Capitalizing on my innate ability to build businesses and to negotiate, I have traveled the world to open doors and close deals.

In 2013 I started NEGOSI to realize my passion for helping entrepreneurs and businesses. Today I give workshops, I mentor/coach and I guide companies (one-man shows/start-ups/SMEs, and occasionally corporates) to get to and succeed in business. My focus is on succeeding at the negotiation table, thinking big and international growth and my drive stems from the joy I have in playing a role in making others succeed with long-term, mutually beneficial business solutions.

In 2016 NEGOSI has been appointed to execute individual coaching sessions on behalf of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO.nl)) in the context of the Starters International Business (SIB) subsidy program.

Three years after I initiated NEGOSI, in 2016 I had a eureka moment, which initiated my second initiative, Grozeries. Our Grozeries team will convert the network of grocery shops in your city/neighborhood into one online supermarket. Connecting the local butcher, your favorite bakery, the organic supermarket and the farmers market and have all items delivered within hours, not days.

Currently, I divide my time between NEGOSI and Grozeries,. Feel free to reach out if you are in need of some coaching (or more) in the areas mentioned above, of if you share my passion for revolutionizing the grocery shopping experience.
