Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
My first venture—skating past traffic jams in Scheveningen with a crate of chilled cola—proved that real value isn’t the drink, it’s the shortcut to the beach. Show people the easier route and they’ll remember you long after the sale. Ever since, one question drives my work: how can smart solutions meet a human need so progress feels effortless? That curiosity led me from Aerospace Engineering (moving people faster from a tech/solution perspective) to human-centred design, and finally to strategy tables where tech and business truly intersect. Today — as Founder of Sherpa I turn AI from headline to hands-on tool: practical, people-proof, and ready for tomorrow’s P&L. My toolkit • 15 + years sparring with boards and C-suites across Fortune 500 & AEX companies • Founder, The Can Do Company (ex-Innovation Boosters) — pragmatic innovation for e.g. ING, Ahold, Colgate-Palmolive, Essent, Achmea & KPN • Serial AI & tech entrepreneur/advisor: Yabba Data Doo (maritime analytics), Ciphix.ai (GovTech / public-sector AI) and Young Digital Leaders (people-centred digital transformation) — all agency businesses turning data into decisive action. What I stand for – Listen first, build second – Pilot small, scale smart – Call things by their name, measure what matters Exploring AI and want a no-nonsense sounding board? Let’s see what’s possible.
