When I was a little boy, I dreamt of becoming a professional football player. I played nine years for the academy of the professional football club Sparta Rotterdam. Despite not achieving my dream, the high-level competitive environment made me grow to the person I am today. I can be described as creative, entrepreneurial, disciplined, trustworthy, social, and collaborative. I carried these traits with me when I decided to change career paths and pursue a professional career. I started this journey by enrolling in the Bachelor of Business Administration program at the Rotterdam School of Management, where I developed an understanding of various business disciplines, including finance, marketing, and supply chain management. I applied this knowledge during my internship at P1 Travel, where I worked closely with existing clients and sought new business opportunities in my role as an account manager.After completing my Bachelor’s degree, I felt ready for a new challenge, which I found in Lund, Sweden. I enrolled in the Master's program in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Lund University. While in Sweden, I co-founded STRIDE, a modular running shoe brand, where I took on the commercial and sales responsibilities. Our team's efforts and innovative approach were recognized, and we were honored with a prestigious scholarship.In addition to the above mentioned experiences I have been running a successful podcast for over 3 years now together with a close friend. Through this platform, we’ve built a strong community, collaborated with several brands, and expanded our network in the creative industry.In my spare time, you can find me outdoors, at the gym, or enjoying time with family and friends.This diverse set of experiences reflects my passion for growth, collaboration, and entrepreneurship, driving me to continue pushing boundaries in my professional career.
