One year as Business Development Manager: Joshua celebrates success and anniversary at Axelio

Joshua has now been working as a Business Development Manager at Axelio in Veenendaal for a year. And he looks back on it with pride. What started as a passion for commerce and smart processes has grown into a key role where he brings together sales, customer relationships, and the entire Microsoft platform of Axelio. A principle he always holds on to: doing business honestly and with integrity, full of enthusiasm and from the heart.

From Customer Service to IT and Sales

Joshua studied part-time Business Administration at HvA and began his career in the supply chain. He worked in customer service and quickly discovered his talent for commercial relationship management. When he and a colleague managed to automate processes smartly, he not only discovered how valuable efficiency is but also found his passion: sales within the IT world.

Through online marketing, tech startups, and a period in the supply chain, IT continued to attract him. Joshua: "I used to build my own computers and loved gaming. That affinity with technology has always been there. At Axelio, I can combine that technical interest with what I enjoy most about sales: the contact with people."

A warm welcome and a close-knit team

When Joshua got into discussions for his role at Axelio, he immediately clicked with the director and sales manager. "The first conversation was very open, decisive, and to the point. You immediately notice that the doors here are open for everyone and that at Axelio you have short, personal lines of communication."

Besides the professionalism, it was especially the sincere, human side that made an impression. When Joshua went through a tough personal period during his application process, he received a handwritten card from the team. Joshua: "Those are small gestures that feel grand and show what an involved organization this is. You are not just a number here; there is attention for each other. Even before I started, I already felt valued."

The 'eye of the storm': new business and valuable customer relationships

As a Business Development Manager, Joshua operates in the dynamics of the IT world. He has a broad, challenging role where he focuses on both welcoming new customers and building relationships around Axelio's Microsoft portfolio. From ERP to CRM, Data & BI, and AI.

In doing so, he firmly believes in building a true win-win situation. "It's about everyone genuinely benefiting. I sell solutions that I fully stand behind and from which organizations can truly reap the benefits for at least five to ten years. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to help companies in such a sustainable way."

"You must sell what the whole team is proud of. Doing business honestly, from your core, and always with a smile. That's what counts at Axelio."

Happy with a culture where you can thrive

"The best part of my job? It's definitely my colleagues and the wonderful bond you build with customers. You can be yourself here; there is room for a joke and for personal attention, and we truly build our success together. You can rely 100% on each other." Before he started, he was eager to brainstorm with the consultants on the floor. "You can feel that everyone is ready to roll up their sleeves together and strive for the best possible result. That drive is contagious."

Looking to the future

For the future, Joshua sees opportunities for further growth of Axelio. With the extensive Microsoft platform and the latest innovations in AI, the organization has exactly the right scale to make a real impact.

"Axelio has the perfect sweet spot: large enough for leading, complex IT issues, but personal and agile enough to switch quickly. You get all the space here to realize your ambitions, enjoy your work, and make a difference together. Therefore, I look forward to celebrating many more beautiful successes in the coming years!"
