Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
I work at the intersection of AI, operations, and finance. I build AI products for the financial sector and advise organisations on structuring their operations and implementing AI. As founder of AstrisNexus, I'm building an AI-native platform for M&A and Corporate Finance practices. It accelerates deal preparation, strengthens mandate assessment, and enables precise investor and advisor alignment. Alongside AstrisNexus, I take on project and advisory engagements. Typical work includes mapping and restructuring processes, identifying where AI creates real value, and implementing it in a way the organisation can actually sustain. Background: 20+ years as an entrepreneur. Founded, scaled, and exited multiple ventures in software, hospitality, and maritime, including in capital-intensive and regulated contexts. Three consecutive FD Gazellen awards. 2+ years of hands-on experience in AI, from implementation strategy to product development, system architecture, and workflow design.
