With over a decade of experience in entertainment across music, sports, and gaming, I've built my career on the belief that creativity can solve almost any challenge, regardless of the industry. Born and raised in the Netherlands, my journey has taken me across the globe, living in cities like Amsterdam, Lisbon, Toronto, and Los Angeles.I’m now on a new freelance adventure, focusing on leveraging new trends and technologies to help brands capture the attention of emerging, diverse audiences, particularly Gen Z and Generation Alpha. My focus lies in guiding companies through the ongoing transformation of digital, driven by AI, blockchain, and other frontier technologies.My career spans music, venture capital, sports, and advertising, and my diverse experience is a core strength. I see business and brands from a future-forward perspective, identifying trends and helping them adapt to what lies ahead. As technology and the rise of Gen Z and Gen A reshape the landscape, I focus on four key areas: AI, Blockchain/Web3, Gaming/Virtualization, and the next generation of audiences.I tell stories and build bridges—transforming complex technologies, innovative products, and ideas into accessible go-to-market and brand strategies. My mission is to help people and businesses navigate the challenges of our changing world and thrive. If you're interested in exploring the possibilities, let's connect and see what we can create together.

Since September 2020 I continued my career as freelancer in the world of entertainment, technology and gaming. Creativity has the power to solve almost every challenge, no matter the industry.People consume more than ever before: brands, products, content, experiences. On the other hand, time is the most valuable thing we have as humans. Then why spend time consuming mediocre stuff? People deserve quality and I want to give it to everyone by helping companies, and personal brands, deliver better. Anything that reaches the senses of people should be worth it.This is what drives me. This is the reason I push for great work instead of agreeing to “good enough”. I want to help businesses, and its founders, grow in terms of quality. The result will be that the quality of what is consumed will be better than it was yesterday. Why me?I have lived in Amsterdam, Lisbon, Toronto and Los Angeles past couple of years and traveled even more. Cultures is what I live for. One of the cultures that I have a big passion for has nothing to do with a country but with pop culture. The pop culture industry and more specific sports, music, fashion, gaming, hip-hop, sneakers, street art, film, photography and more. Finding creative solutions for client challenges that need cultural insights. That is what I do and thrive in.I want to share my experiences and help other people and businesses forward.

Jazz For Japan is a stellar jazz compilation album played by various legendary American jazz musicians. In the wake of the natural disasters (earthquake, tsunami, and radiation leak) that struck Japan on March 11th 2011 these fine musicians got together, brought their instruments to the table and decided to give back in more ways than one. Not only did they deliver one of the best jazz compilations of 2011, but all the monetary gain from the sales were donated to help the victims of this great tragedy. The album was on the long list in the category “Jazz album of the Year” during the 2011 Grammy Awards.

The drivers are scattered across all major university towns , meaning they have a national coverage. Quality is key.

Project Simplify: As Data Administrator I transformed a very large Excel file to transport all data to a new system. Office Depot transfered from AS400 and SAP to Oracle. This was a very big project, because they are merging all of Europe into one system. Office Depot works in each acquired company with a different system and can further vary by country/office location, meaning their system is very scattered. In addition to the transfer all data must also be checked and analyzed. As a data administrator my analytical insight were put to the test.
