About Tom de Winter
Experience, insight and execution across automotive, engineering and international business.
Over the past 26+ years, I have built my career within the automotive industry, working across OEM, aftermarket (IAM) and international distribution environments.
My background started in engineering at Ferrari S.p.A., Maranello (IT), providing a strong technical foundation and deep understanding of automotive products and systems.
Over the past two decades, I developed into a commercial professional, operating at the intersection of business development, strategy and execution.
This combination allows me to bridge a critical gap within many organizations: the disconnect between technical expertise and commercial success.
