I started my career as a sales manager in the real estate industry. There I managed large portfolios in vastly competitive markets such as the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Switzerland. However, my passion for the financial world had soon taken me on the path of becoming a full-time, self-supporting business investor.
Since then, I have gained a solid background in numerous business initiatives around the world. I manage two investment groups in the Netherlands and take an active part in wealth management programs at Credit Suisse. Also, I manage to feed my hunger for traveling and experiencing different cuisines with business trips to the UAE and Asia markets as a real estate consultant.
The little free time I have, I spent with my family, cooking, playing sports with the kids, or capturing glimpses of the universe through the lenses of my camera.
My Business Philosophy
Stepping on substantial experience and using a vast network of connections to implement a clear and shared business vision is what makes me a good business partner.
Experience
I have a solid background in the business world, with tens of successful projects behind my back and strong financial expertise.
Connections
Throughout my business ventures, I established numerous business relationships around Europe and Asia, which benefit the tech start-ups I invest in.
Vision
Establishing a clear and robust vision, shared across all stakeholders is what makes my business ventures successful in the long run.

Let’s Scale-Up the Market
One of my latest investment projects introduced me to the enormous potential, vast expertise, and encouraging business environment of the tech industry. The potential immediately hooked me.
