Product Marketing Leader | B2B SaaS, Digital Platforms & Fintech | Positioning, GTM & Growth at Scale

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

About

I help SaaS, fintech and platform businesses turn customer value into scalable, recurring growth. I work across product, marketing, sales and data/ AI, owning positioning, go-to-market and lifecycle outcomes. My background is in product marketing leadership for AI-enabled SaaS scale-ups, digital platforms and financial services. I shape clear value propositions and ICPs, then translate them into execution across launches, adoption, expansion and retention - in close partnership with product, sales and customer success teams. I’ve led growth strategies across Benelux, Europe and global markets, contributing to outcomes such as ARR growth to $70M, NRR above 105% and double-digit product usage growth. These results come from aligning teams around one customer journey, shared metrics and data-driven decisions. Hands-on and commercially minded, I’m comfortable owning complex growth challenges end-to-end in fast-moving environments.
