Senior Manager Paid Search at adidas

About

Performance media marketer at one of the most iconic global companies in the world: adidas. My current work experience aligns closely with the values that define me to this day: 1. International mindset - my passport may say I'm Dutch but call me in English, Dutch or German; it really doesn't matter. I've had the tremendous opportunity to live on 3 continents and 7 countries. It has shaped me to becoming the curious, open minded individual I am today. 2. "Through sport, we have the power to change lives" is what adidas lives by and it is very dear to me. Sport gives me energy, joy and motivation. It has opened countless doors and helped create and foster great relationships in my life. 3. Digital first - I have grown up with the incredible changes in technology that have shaped consumer behaviour. I am passionate about staying at the forefront of this continued change.
