About A41
Building a high growth company is hard. Damn hard. Not many succeed. But if you have spoken to over 1.000 companies over the last 2 decades, you quickly recognize the challenges. And know the solutions.
Evy Dottermans & Roderick Lindner
A41 started as a positioning, branding and marketing specialist for ambitious, fast-growing companies. But it became so much more.
After two decades of intensive collaborations with some of the most amazing growth companies in the Benelux and the US, after hundreds of workshops, and after building several startup companies, we have learned we do so much more.And after joining forces with my wife, we added 360° retail experience and HRM to our service portfolio.
More core talents: general management, retail consultancy, innovation, visual merchandising, HR, strategic & creative brainstorming sessions, business modeling, discovering (new) marketing and sales channels, building sales funnels, solving founder issues, getting startups "investor ready", building a good team, etc.
Having so much fun!

Every project is different, aside from workflows and tools, listening carefully / investigating the market and target groups is 1 of the personalized keys to success.
Results. Results. Results.
Measurable? Awesome. We love positive metrics. Although the perfect name or strategic concept can't always be calculated, it can be a great result.
Transparant budget
If we agree on time & material, we stick to it. If the mandate hasn't changed at the demand of the client, we continue till it's done. In our time. No small letters.
Brutal Honesty

Ruben Merre
Founder, Ngrave
“Roderick is very passionate about marketing & sales, and about coaching ambitious startup entrepreneurs. He breathes, eats, sleeps,... branding, marketing, sales, and growth.
Big advantage - aside of being a seasoned startup entrepreneur - is his experience with several international accelerators like Techstars and imec.istart.
Roderick helped NGRAVE in soul-searching the true identity of our brand and finding the right words to differentiate us from the competition. End-product? A strong, high-conversion website, that we and his network set up in no time.
Roderick truly commits to the startups and corpups he works - or rather "partners" - with.
Well versed in marketing automation strategies, Roderick is a true goal getter and growth challenger to any team.
If you are a sole entrepreneur or a startup / corpup team looking to push your marketing / sales / growth to the next level, I highly recommend Roderick to be a brutally honest coach and temporary team member.”
