    Owner
    Ecom Ads Aug 2019 - Present
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    The journey to eCom Ads has been shaped by years of diverse experiences. From managing high-performance campaigns at Hurra.com to embracing productivity systems at Springest and diving deep into data analysis at Crobox. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring countless businesses through roles at SB Commerce and Bizelli, sharpening my skills in eCommerce, performance marketing, and team optimization.These experiences led me to co-found eCom Ads, where we focus on one mission: helping eCommerce brands scale profitably.We don’t just manage paid ads; we provide the systems and strategies needed for sustainable growth. Drawing from a decade of hands-on experience in the trenches, from agency life to client-side roles, and even building a Fiverr Top Seller business, I’ve learned that the secret to success lies in building a solid foundation, backed by data-driven strategies and clear processes.At eCom Ads, we guide businesses through four key phases:1. Fundamental Analysis: We dive deep into profit margins, customer insights, and market research, ensuring a strong base.2. Optimization and Profitability: Whether building from scratch or refining what’s working, we focus on sustainable growth.3. Foundation Building: We fine-tune your marketing funnel to target the right customers efficiently.4. Scaling: Once the groundwork is laid, we push for aggressive, sustainable growth, with a focus on profitability.Imagine a partner who knows your business as well as you do — one that doesn’t just handle ads, but helps grow your bottom line.

Or is it time to trust a partner who can truly drive your growth?
  • Present.Dad
    Chief Executive Officer
    Present.Dad Jul 2023 - Present
    Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands
    Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by entrepreneurial fathers — those who not only bear the weight of scaling a business but also the deeper responsibility of being present for their families.As I’ve coached agency and eCommerce owners, I’ve come to realize the unique struggles dadpreneurs face. This journey has shaped my approach to balancing success and fatherhood.With Present.Dad, I mentor dadpreneurs who are on the edge of exhaustion, striving to build thriving businesses while being fully present for their families.It’s not just about time management; it’s about reclaiming time for what matters most — the irreplaceable family moments.The Present.Dad program is a reflection of my core belief: that being an involved father and a successful business owner shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.I’ve tailored my guidance to empower dadpreneurs to liberate at least 20 hours a week, not just to reinvest in their ventures, but to spend quality time with their families.The insights I’ve gained through coaching business owners have equipped me with a deep understanding of these dual demands, making this program as much about life as it is about business.With every father I mentor, I see the transformative power of work-life harmony, and this experience continues to fuel my own mission as a coach and mentor.
  • Consistent Performance
    Performance Coach @ Consistent Performance
    Consistent Performance Jan 2023 - May 2024
    Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands
    The road to success in the eCommerce and agency world can be turbulent.I’ve had the privilege of working closely with over 100 agency and eCommerce business owners, listening to their stories, understanding their pain points, and witnessing firsthand the inconsistencies that often plague their performance.From this journey, I’ve come to realize that high-performance business owners often grapple with stress, burnout, and the feeling of always putting out fires.This pattern — the overwhelming demand for constant decision-making, coupled with the neglect of personal well-being — is something I’ve worked to address through my coaching.Consistent Performance embodies what I’ve learned: the need for structure, sustainability, and personal care in business leadership. By helping business owners focus on the bigger picture, I’ve been able to guide them toward sustainable success.The experience of coaching these leaders has only deepened my resolve to create a system that fosters not only business growth but also personal balance. This experience now influences every decision I make as I guide others, both through my coaching programs and my current role at eCom Ads.
  • The Ecommerce Independent Podcast
    Co-Host @ The Ecommerce Independent Podcast
    The Ecommerce Independent Podcast Jun 2020 - Jan 2023
    Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
    Co-hosting the eCommerce Independent Podcast with Ivana Petrovic was a pivotal experience in my personal and professional growth. Our mission was clear: to foster self-development, sanity, and productivity in a fast-paced industry where distractions, shiny objects, and the comparison game are constant threats. The podcast was a space where we explored how to stay grounded and focused in an ever-evolving eCommerce landscape.Though the podcast is no longer available, the journey was invaluable. Recording episodes, brainstorming ideas, and engaging with guests provided insights that go far beyond the technical side of eCommerce. It was about how to grow not only as business owners but as individuals. The experience solidified my belief that success comes from clarity, self-awareness, and prioritizing mental well-being amidst the noise.The lessons learned through this process continue to shape who I am today — as a coach, mentor, and leader in the eCommerce space.
  • Shave House
    Helping A Friend @ Shave House
    Shave House Apr 2017 - Jan 2023
    Supporting a close friend who gave up everything to build his razor blade business was a deeply personal and eye-opening experience. While he could make a living, he struggled with the business economics — lacking a strong network and knowing what to change to grow.I stepped in to help with paid ads, SEO, and analytics, while guiding him through profit calculations and quarterly projections for pitches. This experience gave me firsthand insight into the challenges new brands face: cash flow issues, profitability concerns, and gaps in technical knowledge.Helping him also allowed me to see the entrepreneurial journey from behind the scenes, strengthening my own understanding of what early-stage businesses need to succeed.This advisory role not only helped him grow but deepened my expertise in scaling and supporting new ventures, shaping how I now approach my work in the eCommerce space.
  • Bizelli Performance Group
    My First Entrepreneurial Venture @ Bizelli
    Bizelli Performance Group Apr 2015 - Dec 2019
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    Bizelli was born out of a shared vision between me and my friend, Vincent, a former colleague at Hurra.com. What started as a side project quickly grew into something much bigger. We were driven by a simple idea: to take on any project where we could add value, whether in digital marketing, ads, or online strategy.In the early days, we hustled hard, providing top-tier services on Fiverr, where we quickly became Top Sellers, gathering over 1,000 positive reviews from satisfied clients. This was proof that our hands-on approach and client-first mentality were resonating with businesses worldwide.As Bizelli grew, so did our ambitions. The side hustle began to morph into something larger — a full-fledged digital agency.We realized we couldn’t keep operating as freelancers, so we made the leap to pivot into a real agency model.This was when the idea for eCom Ads was first born, setting the stage for what would become a core focus in my future ventures.

From day one, Simon invited me to join the team to manage the Google Ads campaigns for their SEO clients, believing in the synergy of combining SEO and paid search for maximum impact.While Simon was busy expanding his team with talented juniors, I took on two main responsibilities:- Overseeing Quality - I managed and ensured the quality of the work delivered by his growing team, reviewing their campaigns and making sure they aligned with the high standards clients expected.- Growing Paid Search Campaigns - I took charge of conceptualizing and growing the paid search side of the business.

  • Sb Commerce Bv
    Traffic Acquisition Specialist @ Sb Commerce / Vtwonen.Nl
    Sb Commerce Bv Feb 2015 - Dec 2015
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    After a brief but insightful role as Senior PPC Specialist at Sanoma, which ended due to budget cuts, I found myself at SB Commerce, managing traffic acquisition for some of the Netherlands' most beloved eCommerce brands, including vtwonen.nl, the nation's leading home decor brand, along with gadgethouse.nl, living.nl, and others.This role was a pivotal moment in my career, where I rebuilt my confidence in my ability to make a real impact on both performance and team dynamics.On the eCommerce performance side, I was responsible for optimizing and fine-tuning all paid online marketing channels.My focus was on driving traffic and delivering measurable results through Google Ads, Meta Ads, and other paid platforms, ensuring these brands maximized their online visibility and sales.On the team performance side, I introduced process optimization workshops within the Sanoma Home Deco cluster, which was in the midst of adopting SB Commerce.Drawing from my experience at Springest, I implemented Asana and the Getting Things Done methodology to make team projects more transparent and efficient.It was about improving both team collaboration and individual roles, ensuring the smooth transition and integration of SB Commerce into Sanoma.This was a two-edged sword: nailing eCommerce performance while simultaneously optimizing team workflows.I combined my 6+ years of experience in paid advertising with the organizational skills I honed in previous roles, bringing valuable insights to the "client side" for the first time.Ultimately, this role reaffirmed my confidence and solidified my ability to deliver results, both in driving eCommerce growth and improving operational efficiency.
  • Sanoma
    Senior Online Marketeer
    Sanoma Sep 2014 - Jan 2015
    Hoofddorp, Netherlands
    I joined Sanoma with the goal of elevating the performance and knowledge level of the Online Performance department, which managed the online marketing activities for major titles like Kieskeurig, vtwonen, nu.nl, and Startpagina.My focus was on bringing data-driven optimizations, strategic input, and creative solutions to the Search team, driving profitability and efficiency across their accounts.Unfortunately, my time at Sanoma was cut short due to the company’s fourth round of budget cuts, marking my second layoff in five months — following the end of my role at Springest in August 2014.Despite the short tenure, I was excited to contribute to a team that valued cross-channel synergy, where the goal was to integrate search engine advertising with all online and offline marketing efforts.Key Focus Areas:- Data Analysis & Search Engine Advertising- Cross-Channel Marketing & Synergy- Strategic Consulting & Ad Hoc Account Management- Productivity with Getting Things DoneThis experience helped me refine my approach to maximizing search performance while balancing broader marketing strategies, even in the face of unforeseen challenges.
  • Springest
    Sea | Display | Cro | Gtd | Analytics
    Springest Jan 2014 - Aug 2014
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    After 5 years at Hurra.com, I took a leap into Springest, an ambitious unicorn startup in the heart of Amsterdam, embracing Holacracy and the Getting Things Done (GTD) principles by David Allen. It was an exciting yet overwhelming environment, especially as I had just been diagnosed with ADHD. My mind was racing with ideas, but I struggled to channel them effectively.At Springest, I was fortunate to have the mentorship of Ruben Timmerman (Founder) and Peter Koelewijn (CMO), who not only believed in my potential but also encouraged me to learn how to structure my thinking and workflow. They introduced me to GTD, and I was even sent to a GTD training, which became a turning point in my career. Paired with Ritalin, I finally learned how to take my ideas and turn them into actionable steps. It felt like I had unlocked a new level of focus and productivity.My role at Springest involved:SEA & Display Advertising: Driving traffic and revenue through search and display campaigns, while optimizing ROI.Stakeholder Transactions for Marketing: Influencing the product roadmap, bridging communication between marketing and product teams, and helping decide branding for new features.Google Analytics: Analyzing traffic and conversion funnels, sharing insights for future optimizations.As I became more passionate about GTD, I took on a GTD Coach role, helping colleagues implement these principles in their daily work, conducting weekly reviews, and coaching them when task lists became overwhelming.Unfortunately, after 8 months, Springest faced financial difficulties, and I was laid off as part of a “last in, first out” strategy. It was understandable, as the marketing campaigns weren’t delivering as expected, and my role had shifted toward customer support and coaching.Despite the short time, my experience at Springest was life-changing. The mentorship, learning GTD, and adapting to a fast-paced environment shaped how I approach both work and personal productivity today.
  • Hurra.Com™
    Online Marketing Specialist
    Hurra.Com™ May 2008 - Dec 2013
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    My Entry into Digital Marketing: From Passion to ProfessionIn 2008, I got a call from a friend, a sales manager at Hurra Communications, a German online marketing agency. They were expanding into the Dutch market and needed native speakers for account management. Knowing my knack for “turning something into something exciting” (as I had done for a flower shop), he asked: "You're good with the internet, right?"I was. As a tech enthusiast who built computers as a hobby and had one of the first Gmail addresses, I was intrigued by the opportunity. The job would teach me everything about online marketing as long as I came with a learning mindset—and ideally, decent German skills.Luckily, I had a passion for German culture. As a long-time 1860 Munich supporter, I regularly read Bild Zeitung and watched Sportschau. When the interview asked for ad ideas and keyword targeting—all in German—I impressed them with my creativity and language skills.I got hired on the spot.After four weeks of training at Hurra's HQ in Stuttgart, I returned to Amsterdam to manage campaigns for brands like Bonprix (Otto Group), Yves Rocher, OnlinePrinters, HRS Hotels, and Viking Direct, later consulting for Mydays and HomeAway.Beyond campaign management, I took on new roles: hiring and training new team members, managing the Dutch entity, keeping the bookkeeper happy, and even finding a new office. It was a full-spectrum role that blended digital marketing with leadership and operations.One key lesson was understanding the cultural differences across Germany's regions and navigating hierarchical structures—which, as a Dutchman, I was surprisingly good at breaking through.This role launched my digital marketing career, blending my passion for creativity, tech, and marketing.
