" Very little grows on jagged rock.
Be ground. Be crumbled,
so wild flowers will come up wherever you are. "
I am a Dutch professional with life- and work experiences all around the world. As a passionate and ambitious individual I have been pursuing my dreams and goals in economic hotspots around the globe, as New York, Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong.
My participation in the world of banking and consultancy has always increased my involvement in a broadscope of industries.
Because of my entrepreneurial spirit I have always been fascinated and interested in the latest trends in the start-up seen. Personally I am a big fan of organizations and entrepreneurs that strive for a more sustainable world and create positive societal impact in world.
So far, I have been blessed with a great career, experiences and progress around the world. What the future has planned for me is a mystery, but one thing is for sure, as a 'banker', 'consultant', 'entrepreneur' or as a 'global citizen' I will always strive to help others and create a better world.
