About

I’m a driven business marketer who enjoys building brands, sharpening strategies, and getting things done with strong, cross-functional teams. As part of the management team and chair of the commercial business teams, I’m closely involved in shaping and executing our company strategy. Together with my teams, I help the organization navigate new digital developments and emerging trends. I’m proud that Dr. Oetker Netherlands is recognized by the headquarter as a frontrunner in digitalization and innovation. I value collaboration and clear, fast decision-making. I like connecting people across teams, keeping a sharp focus on results, and avoiding unnecessary theory or bureaucracy. I strongly believe in testing, learning, and moving forward. In my leadership style, I aim to stay humble and transparent, and to create an environment where people feel trusted, motivated, and heard. Good ideas can come from anywhere — and real success is always something you build together.
