My story

From building products to building people.

As founder & CEO I built Travis the Translator, named Dutch Startup of the Year, winner of Best of CES, with 200,000+ devices sold worldwide and coverage across global media.

I was also on the founding team of Venture Café Rotterdam, one of the largest founder communities in the Netherlands. In 2020 I made a decision: I'd rather develop founders than technology. Since then I've worked with 100+ business owners and built the founder club I always wished I'd had.

The work is simple: help founders grow as fast as their businesses do, through strategy, the right room around them, and their own performance.

Most founders scale their company faster than they scale themselves. The result is a bigger business carried by a smaller man. My work is to close that gap.
