After a carreer with corporates, like Fokker, VNU and Electronic Data Systems (EDS) I decided in 1989 to establish my first company, Core Informatics. The company offered IT outsourcing services to the larger SME companies in the Netherlands. First I merged the company with the Rijnhaave Group and in 1995 the total company was sold to Syntegra (British Telcom). After 1995 I established and took over companies, grew, merged and sold them. Since then businesses and personal networks cover the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Austria, Turkey, USA, UK and India.
Over the years I discovered that I like to assist companies to find the financing / funding they require to grow their businesses. This varies from growth capital funding to asset based debt or equity financing. Also developed more in the direction of being a mentor / coach for entrepreneurs and companies, a business developer, certified EQMentor, board member and shareholder.
I consider myself to be a seasoned, experienced entrepreneur and networker with a high degree of commitment and involvement. And I like to bring people, products and markets together and create added value for all stakeholders.
Of course I make use of my background in the international IT, Outsourcing, Energy, Social Impact, Real Estate and Manufacturing Offshoring Services Industry. Studied business administration at the IBO in Zeist.
