Amsterdam Area
Wilful Entrepreneurship, Business Strategy, Digital Innovation, Free Leadership and Bold Commerce are key words defining me and what I get energy from. Directly after my studies I realized that only “leading companies” is what I get happy from and there for are good at, so together with other students I co-founded the company Paylogic (which derived from the former Accepté BV). Here I ran all commercial departments and lead the international expansion of the company in the role of CCO. We had developed a disruptive solution and successfully challenged the ticketing industry, also built a company with an amazing team and DNA that still breathes everything I stand for; commitment, innovation, growth and great culture. After the company was sold to SFX in 2013 (now LiveStyle Inc.), I became the CEO and lead it to new height of further international growth and high profitability, I also bought back into the company to sell it again after a few years to the French Media Powerhouse Vivendi in 2018 and after that left the company. Since my farewell after over 12 years at Paylogic, I am open to compelling (start-up) investment opportunities and also helps various starting companies on strategic level, or with the sale of their company, or funding rounds. During the last years I have also invested in several companies through Willmore Investments and started the Amsterdam entrepreneur initiative Founders’ Dinner together with like-minded entrepreneurs.
