About

I'm driven by building new B2B relationships, see innovative tech come to life and how that impacts people's lives. I genuinely believe that knowledge sharing within the team is key to maintain a personal top performance. Outside work, I love being on the ski slopes - this just gives me a lot of energy ⛷ I've been working in Business Development for over 5 years. During these years, I've worn many hats on everything from cold sales to account management, and working with start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. At Tink, I work as Business Manager Payments for the UK market. Tink is the largest independently funded Open Banking platform worldwide! 📈 This brings us in the unique position to deliver top notch solutions to improve customer experiences - for fintechs, banks, or really anyone that works with financial data. As Europe's leading Open Banking solutions provider, we work with partners such as PayPal, NatWest and Revolut. Connect with me if you're interested to learn more! 📩
