Right after law school, I started working as a lawyer. After a few years, I stepped into the family business that developed and sold medical instruments for a niche market (RF Pain Management). I ran this company, Cotop International, together with my brother Ivo for a couple of years. Also, we started up a publishing company in medical books (FlivoPress). In 2004 I bought my brother's shares, after which I became sole owner of both companies. After further growing the companies, I sold both Cotop International and FlivoPress to an American strategic buyer, NeuroTherm, in September 2007. At NeuroTherm I worked as Vice President Marketing during which period I was responsible for the marketing worldwide. After having set up a new image and strategy at NeuroTherm, I returned to entrepreneurship and set up UToPS (Unknown Territory of Plants and Seeds). UToPS is a company that develops and licenses a patented technique to enhance the growth of plants and the germination of seeds.In december 2013 I founded Springlife Medical, an innovation driven company aiming to improve the quality of life of patients with chronic conditions by applying Pulsed Radio Frequency (PRF). Our PRF-only generator, the Spring2, can be used for both transcutaneous and invasive procedures. I'm author of the book 'Vijf maanden in de achtbaan'. It describes my experiences and the roller coaster I've been in when selling my companies.Specialties: Entrepreneurship
