After more than 18 rewarding years at UBS, I have started a new chapter on January 1, 2026. My journey in global finance has been defined by growth, continuous learning, and unforgettable milestones—all made possible by the exceptional colleagues and clients I’ve had the privilege to work with worldwide.

Now, I am ready to channel this experience into my next venture: entrepreneurship! I am passionate about building something new and meaningful, integrating the many lessons I’ve learned throughout my career—from strategic business development to hands-on event creation.

A recent example of this entrepreneurial drive was founding and organizing De Tikkende Klok Challenge, a successful new charity event in the Dutch market in September 2025. From concept to execution, I built this initiative from the ground up, culminating in an inspiring day at the F1 Circuit in Zandvoort with nearly 700 participants, all for the foundation PLN, for which I serve as an unpaid boardmember. This experience reinforced my ability to pioneer ideas, mobilize communities, and deliver impactful results.

Professionally, I have been a focused and energetic Business Development Professional covering the Benelux market. My background includes a long track record in the Asset Management industry, working across all asset classes and pioneering new fintech initiatives. I thrive as an effective communicator and collaborative partner, known for thinking outside the box and successfully developing new partnerships.

I am excited to start my new company and look forward to sharing more about this next step soon. Onward to building, innovating, and creating value in new ways. In the meantime, I remain available for consultancy projects and I am open to supporting early-stage ventures as an angel investor.
