Is there a rhythm to success? As a passionate music and hi-fi lover, I have always been fascinated by musical synergy. The interplay between rhythmic foundations and flowing harmonies can enchant and arouse emotions. This rhythm is also the way I look at building, motivating, and leading teams and accelerating growth of a company. Born in Friesland, down-to-earth and a bit reserved, I was brought up with the advice not to strive beyond my scope. My curiosity and energy stimulate me to go further than that. By asking the "why" question often enough to challenge the status quo. How can complexity be broken down into simple chunks, and change initiated? Don't push bold ideas aside but persevere in what is necessary to bring them to fruition. I believe that the best in people can be tapped into by sparking curiosity, stimulating creativity, and rewarding dedication. Achieving more together through connection, removing barriers, entrepreneurship, and innovation.What can I bring?I am a results-driven leader with 25 years of experience in leading and increasing growth in mid-sized and large enterprises. Proven success and track record in managing diverse multidisciplinary teams in general management, international sales, and new business development.
