Maarten Ingen Housz

Being an entrepreneur myself, I have a forward-looking view on business operations. I believe that, in the board room, experienced advisors and established NEDs need to be accompanied by a pair of boots on the ground; a fellow operator.

I%27m a good sparring partner for companies%27 leaders when they are looking for creative and concrete solutions and strategies in new markets. My reasoning and acting is inductive; I observe, analyze and look for clews in the market and move to conclusions/solutions from there. I%27m happy to lay out examples of this in a conversation.

Companies that would most benefit from my expertise are fellow start- and scale-ups that are shaping or have just started executing their go-to-market strategy for the Dutch market, as well as traditional SMEs/SMBs or family businesses with an innovation ambition.

I have a broad network in Dutch architecture, real estate development, construction, PropTech, ConTech, building materials, wholesales, logistics, venture capital (VC) and startup/scaleup sectors. Built up mainly through both commercial and technical work at start-ups, scale-ups and corporates with B2B SaaS and software-enabled hardware business models.

Having studied and worked in Sweden for nearly 4 years, I understand, speak and read the Swedish language, I%27m introduced in the Swedish business culture and I know it%27s differences with that of other Scandinavian nations and the Netherlands. I have been active in the Stockholm start-up scene and still know my way around. Currently active in Amsterdam/Dutch start-up scene and can help navigate the space, make introductions and host visits.
