Henri-James Tieleman

As Global Business Revenue and Operations Officer at Genius Partners, Inc., I led international growth strategy and operational execution across APAC, Europe, Mexico, and North America. I consistently delivered over $1M in forecasted sales per client within 12 months, leveraging disciplined forecasting, cost optimization, and operational controls. My leadership was rooted in building high-performing, cross-functional teams and delivering transformative outcomes in fast-paced, scaling environments. With over 7 years of progressive operations leadership experience—including managing frontline and managerial teams of 50+—I have overseen end-to-end delivery across logistics, sourcing, distribution, and partner relations. I have owned and managed departmental budgets and P&Ls, consistently balancing growth objectives with efficiency and quality standards. I specialize in applying performance metrics, forecasting models, and real-time data tools to drive planning, execution, and accountability at scale. My sector experience spans High-Tech, Blue-Tech, BPOs, Nanotechnology Chemicals, and OEM manufacturing, with a strong focus on direct client management, solution development, and long-term strategic partnerships. I have led sourcing initiatives across APAC and Mexico, frequently working alongside engineering, operations, and finance to ensure delivery excellence. I bring a hands-on, execution-driven leadership style, earning credibility through direct involvement on the ground—not just oversight. I excel at navigating complex problems, adapting in high-growth environments, and aligning diverse teams around clear KPIs and shared objectives. My ability to lead across geographies is supported by fluency in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. My work at Genius Partners reflects a career-long commitment to operational discipline, global collaboration, and value creation through scalable systems and people-centric leadership.
