About
As a seasoned technology entrepreneur and deal-maker, I bring board- and advisor-level value to companies at the seed, growth and scale-up phases. I founded and led Offspark through its acquisition by Arm Ltd., leveraging deep expertise in software and security, legal and negotiations.

I excel at fast analytical assessment and translating that into strategic direction, technology choice and fundraising/M&A readiness. I serve as the go-to “speed-dial” advisor for entrepreneurs navigating complex scaling and exit situations.
I am available for part-time, non-executive advisory board or mentor-advisor roles in the Netherlands, Europe and open to global engagements. Ideal companies are in digital services, SaaS, security, fin-tech or legal-tech, navigating early to growth or scale-up stages and looking for someone who can push strategic clarity, enable fundraising or steer an exit path.
