Connector of people & business, innovator, entrepreneur, international, intuitive listener, sparring partner, committed.
My mission is to help people grow by empowering them with a vision. I use in-depth conversations to explain things and clarify unsaid matters. Sometimes this can be confrontational, but always with respect, playfulness and involvement.
“He who knows himself knows the whole world” is a Chinese proverb that resonates with me. Driven by my passion for international business, I have lived and worked in many cultures and various settings—often challenging and adventurous. Through this, I have come to know both myself and the other – as a mirror image. I gladly bring this colorful palette of experiences and diverse realities with me.
For over 24 years, I have held various executive and entrepreneurial roles, ultimately becoming an experiential expert at Van Ede & Partners. I have had the opportunity to experience the power of its philosophy firsthand.
In addition to my work at Van Ede & Partners, I am also active as an interim director, advisor, and supervisor for innovative companies with international growth ambitions.
I am an expert in internationalization, rooted in the Dutch export community, and a scale-up coach in sustainability, energy transition, and circularity.
My educational background is in Business Administration (EUR) and International Management (CEMS/INSEAD).
