I am an energetic and curious professional who thrives where creativity meets business. From co-founding a family brand to shaping campaigns and sales at Crocs, Dr. Martens, and Swapfiets, I’ve learned how to turn ideas into impact. With a background in Communication and Media and two Master’s degrees in Strategic Entrepreneurship and Innovation, I combine a sharp business mindset with a love for storytelling and culture. Sports and challenges fuel me, whether it’s pushing through a workout, learning new skills, or tackling demanding projects. I bring that same resilience and enthusiasm into every role, aiming to inspire, connect, and build something that lasts.
