About me
Enthusiastic serial sustainable entrepreneur and spider in the web. Contributing over two decades of international experience (50+ projects in 25+ countries) in sustainable entrepreneurship & innovation. I love to set up new concepts that change the world for the better. What makes me unique is that I offer the broader (international) perspective as I am a sustainable entrepreneur myself with ventures in Netherlands, South Africa and Colombia and that I combine this as my work as an advisor for multi-stakeholders like impact investors, incubators & accelerators, larger corporates, NGOs, (semi-) governments and of course purpose driven start to scale ups. So I am able to connect all spectrums, insights and shared values in the entire global ecosystem for sustainable entrepreneurship and probably provide you with some valuable experience and connect you with some relevant contacts in my network.
Concrete expertise:
Serial sustainable entrepreneurship & concept development
Impact investments & funding
Business strategy & impact acceleration
