About me
The global water sector needs to reach a tipping point from which the so urgently needed changes and adoption of innovations will scale at high speed.
Until this tipping point is reached water tech pioneers struggle to become economically viable and water stress related damages grow exponentially.
My mission is building winning coalitions that have what it takes to reach this tipping point faster.
I was an entrepreneur for 3 years providing static safe production environments for the electronics industry. After realizing Benelux market leadership, I have lead the integration of the company in a French family business and developed the combined business into a leading group of companies for EU clients in the electronics industry.
An inspiring, positive and curious impact entrepreneur with a 20+ yrs track record in innovation and business strategy in global water and construction markets. I understand the world of large corporates as well as the daily reality of a scale-up or small private business. The world is my home, I love to get the best out of people from different cultures.
I am curious to discover and apply the exponential impact of digital technology and have an international network of small and large companies.
