I operate at the intersection of technology, business, and human potential. As a business operator and co-founder, I've learned that true innovation happens when we can hold multiple truths simultaneously.
Subscriptions / as-a-service models
Over the past 10 years, I have specialized in developing subscription-based businesses, helping startups and large corporations grow their subscriber base.
International business - Fintech
I have a background in finance with experience at World Food Program (ZOA Myanmar) and Philips as well as Alliander (energy) and KPN (Telecom).
Renewable energy - Smart -grid
The first years of my career I focused on evangelising solar energy (PV), during this time I developed companies centred around this theme.
The short version
An enthusiastic leader in the fields of energy, software, and consumer (health) technology, with a track record of driving substantial growth in subscription-based models at ServiceHouse (exit to Coolblue), Alliander (ENTRNCE) and Philips.
At Philips, I led the subscription portfolio's growth from inception to €40M in recurring revenue and the subscriber base from 0 to over 505,000.
I am passionate about thriving teams, pioneering the future of energy, and developing innovative business models.
My expertise is further enhanced by a fluency in digital technologies (Python, Typescript) and a comprehensive understanding of SAFe, ART/DevOps frameworks (Agile/Scrum). #PSPO1 #PSM1.
