In the early years, I was responsible for a major share of Sola\u2019s global B2B export business within the hospitality sector. Today, as Senior Export Manager, I focus primarily on B2B clients in the Middle East and, for the past five years, also on customers in North, Latin, and South America.<\/p><p>My first business trip to the Middle East took place in May 2005, when the region was still a \u201cvirgin market\u201d for Sola. Over the last 21 years, it has been remarkable to witness and contribute to Sola\u2019s growth into one of the leading brands in the hospitality industry, with strong recognition and a solid market share.<\/p><p>Even after so many years with Sola, I genuinely enjoy my work. Staying closely connected with customers, whether by phone, during business trips or at trade shows, remains essential to me. Collaborating with loyal partners and working together to expand our business continues to give me energy and motivation.<\/p><p>My favourite Sola design is the Phoenix pattern. Its beautifully detailed texture on both sides of the handle gives it an elegant and distinctive look.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-1200x1500.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-1600x2000.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/Portretten-Sola-2-Jeroen-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure><script>function getWR360PopupSkin(){return 'light_clean';}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I began my career at Sola in 1999, and over the past 27 years I\u2019ve built extensive experience in export sales. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":28780,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1833],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meet-the-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jeroen Dunselman, Senior Export Manager Middle East &amp;
