Hi, I’m Navah
For over 25 years I’ve helped businesses grow into new markets, reach new audiences, and build real staying power.
I design smart go-to-market strategies and turn them into clear, practical action plans. Then I stay with you throughout, making sure things move forward and adjusting the plan as your business evolves.
My background spans start-ups, established brands, retail, e-commerce, lifestyle, wellbeing and wellness tech across both B2B and B2C markets. I’m also Managing Director of Firma M. de Vries, a 140-year family business in the Netherlands built on trust, long-term thinking, and lasting results. That heritage shapes everything I do.
What I do
Whether you’re entering a new European market, expanding into a new niche, or building stronger B2B relationships, I help you figure out exactly where to focus and how to get there.
My work is grounded in data, market research, and real insight from the people who matter most to your business. I look at the full picture, including the risks, the opportunities, and the choices ahead, so you always know what you’re stepping into.
Together we work out:
-
What to focus on and where to put your energy
-
What to stop doing or do less of
-
What to do more of to keep growing
-
How to keep moving forward, whatever comes your way
What makes me different
I don’t just hand you a strategy document and wish you well. I translate it into a step-by-step plan your team can actually follow, and I stay with you as they do.
I’m also known for building relationships in creative and unexpected ways, opening doors that others miss. This has made a real difference in complex international expansions, where the right connection at the right time changed everything.
And I don’t just look at the business. I also look at you, the person leading it, and what it takes for you to grow into the leader your business needs.

You're in good company
From global names like Shell and Amdocs to fast-growing start-ups, I've worked with businesses at very different stages and in very different markets. What they all had in common was a desire to grow in a smarter, more considered way, and a need for someone who could help them make that happen.
Business Development Solutions
Does any of this sound familiar?
You're great at what you do, but finding new customers feels hard. You're doing bits of marketing here and there but nothing feels joined up. You want to grow into new markets but aren't sure where to start or who to partner with. You need funding to scale but don't know how to approach it.
If you nodded at any of these, you're in the right place.
What we do together
I build clear, structured growth strategies and turn them into action plans you can actually follow.
That means:
-
Finding the markets and niches with the most potential for you
-
Understanding your ideal customers and what drives them to buy
-
Creating a focused marketing plan covering content, partnerships, advertising and more
-
Identifying the right strategic partners and building a real plan to reach them
-
Defining a partnership model that works fairly and profitably for everyone involved
What you get out of it
You stop guessing and start growing with confidence. You save time and money by avoiding costly trial and error. You open doors faster through a live, active network of real connections. And you don't get left behind once the plan is delivered. I stay with you throughout.
How the plan gets delivered
You can run the plan with your own team, or hand the execution over to us. We work with a trusted network of international specialists across digital marketing, content, and performance channels who carry out the work on your behalf, while we oversee everything to keep it on track.
