D-Central today announced its new Decentralized Sales Operations offering, designed for companies seeking to expand but without the capital, talent and, more importantly, time to set up their own sales operation. The offering is being spearheaded by Julia Raimbault Gormand, a longtime career sales and growth pioneering leader for global fintech leaders, who will join the D-Central Tribe as non-executive director.
By uniting data-driven sales with decentralized sales teams, D-Central builds a performance-oriented sales function without weighing on a client's balance sheet and without needing to change the organization. The operation uses scalable sales targeting & decentralized teams to drive exponential growth much faster and more effectively than traditional methods.
"I'm so glad to welcome Julia Gormand as a non-executive director in the D-Central ecosystem and family to drive this offering. A unique visionary, Julia has continuously delivered breakthrough results and commanding leadership in everything that she does. She'll now harness her deep knowledge of sales to fuel the vision of this unique offering - a game-changer for companies seeking agile growth by tapping into decentralized talent," said Dominique Rose Van-Winther, CEO and Co-Founder of D-Central.
Julia went on to explain, "By using more data-driven targeting and utilizing decentralized sales leads, we can enable exponential growth in companies - disrupting the traditional model where expansion required major long-term investments of time, money and effort. This offering harnesses the skills of the most exceptional salespeople: entrepreneurs that are driven by performance-based metrics. That sort of exceptional talent is not traditionally found in a centralized environment of an office."
D-Central Co-Founder & Global Chief Consigliere Kay Van Petersen added: "We are stoked to get a Non-Executive of Julia Gormand's calibre. We've known her for years and anyone who has dealt with Julia from a business or personal perspective will attest to her being an absolute rockstar, as well as someone who is always setting records across the firms she has worked for. She quite literally sets the bell curve - so we are very excited, grateful and cannot wait to see what Julia has in store for both current as well future partners of the D-Central family."
With almost 20 years of experience in sales roles for leading global blue chip firms, Julia Raimbault Gormand is currently Head Of Customer Success & Experience, Asia-Pacific for SimCorp (Danish, 382 million Euros valuation). She previously led sales at such firms as Saxo Bank, Thomson Reuters, S&P Capital IQ and BNP Paribas Wealth Management. Currently based in Singapore, she has worked across Europe, South America and Asia.
Since the Shaw Prize was first presented in 2004, the prestigious annual awards have been presented in three categories: astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences.

His intention was to recognise the quest for knowledge and honour...

The appeal of a good knit is often immediate, from the softness against the skin to the reassuring volume and warmth. At 45R, those qualities begin well before a garment takes shape. The Japanese label’s latest selection puts the making process in focus, bringing together airy merino, characterful Shetland wool and the flecked textures of Donegal tweed. Founded in Tokyo in 1977, 45R approaches clothing through monozukuri, or the “art of making”, a philosophy centred on respect for craft and...

At 22, Luca Yang was running a small teaching company in New Zealand after quitting a six-figure finance job that he hated. It had humble beginnings, where he tutored English online for A$25 (US$17.55) per hour just to get by. When one of his students got into Oxford, word spread: one student became 50, then 500. By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
