For over 9 years I have combined: growth strategy (marketing & sales) revenue operations human centered leadership (the kind that doesn’t require an official leadership role) to deliver stellar results while taking responsibility for my own inner state and creating psychological safety for others to perform, feel, and grow Selected impact • Scaled Barracuda’s Benelux and Nordics business from employee number three to a 20+ person team, making it one of the fastest growing regions globally for multiple consecutive years. • Founded Auxo Growth Consulting Group, helping Dutch companies accelerate revenue on a success fee basis. Results include over €1M immediate pipeline creation, recurring revenue growth from 10% to 30%, and opportunity to win conversion improvement from 27% to 41%. I started leading teams at 18, responsible for 70 retail employees, and later completed an MSc in Organizational Change cum laude. This combination of early responsibility, academic depth, and international B2B tech experience enables me to bridge field execution with corporate strategy while staying grounded in emotional intelligence and embodiment.
