Summary

I've been an active manager and entrepreneur for more than ten years. I mostly worked in operations, organizational development, and business development while co-founding three businesses. I had to deal with change management and managing cross-functional teams a lot as I grew my business from having no customers to more than 180 employees and nearly €5 million in revenue.

As I search for my next role, I am currently on parental leave. In the interim, I work as a consultant for business process optimization, financial planning, and operations management, helping start-ups and small to medium-sized businesses.

Outside of work, I volunteer in my local neighborhood and enjoy juggling for fun.
