About

After my education at CIOS Sittard, I started to work in the fitness industry in 2000 as a fitness instructor during my study at the Academy of Physical Education in Amsterdam. After a couple of years working on the gym floor, I moved into several roles with the main focus on Marketing, Sales & Retention and as a General Manager of one of Europe's leading gyms by then. In 2015, I continued my career at Matrix Fitness on the supplier side, as a sales rep for individual clubs and Key Accounts. The last 5 years at Matrix I was responsible for Matrix's sales department in the Benelux and Denmark as Sales Director. After restructuring the department and significant growth, it was time for a new step in my career, EGYM! Together with a fantastic team, we will support all our partners in growing the business and make a huge impact on people's health around the globe.
