Born and raised in the Amsterdam area, the city where I also studied IT. Since childhood my passion was in computers, technology and gadgets. It all started with my own Commodore 64 and now it is all about audio, video, technology trends and gadgets.My career started in the more technical part of the company where I did implementations and product support on Document Management and Capture products. After that I made a move to Product Management where I was able to build on Product Management Solutions in a output related environment. From this perspective I could do Business Development and was able to build up portfolio's and my own team with Product Managers and consultants. From that position I moved into Business Development mainly focusing on Enterprise Content Management and IT related business. First in a cross border role supporting four countries in West Europe, now responsible for the whole European region. I love to talk about process optimization and figure out solutions to optimize business processes. In personal life I spend a lot of time with my family and especially my two digital natives (also called kids). When it comes to sport you will mainly find me on or at the soccer field. And next to my addiction to movies and TV shows, I visit the theater on a regular base for some stand-up comedy.
