After finishing my bachelor in Economics and my Master in Marketing Management, I started in sales at Giving Europe, the company which was founded by Stef. During several positions in purchase, marketing and sales, I eventually ended up as European Sales director. Two years ago I finally could put my entrepreneurial mind into practice, as an entrepreneur, when I founded the company TUBES Gifts with Stef. My passion is on the commercial side of the business, combined with a true passion in people. I have gained a lot of experience in steering teams, blending creativity with a touch of humor.

At the age of 29 I started as CFO at Image Trading International -(a pioneer wholesale company) resulting in a CEO position at Antalis a few years later. In 2001I co-founded Giving Europe and expanded it into one of 3 players in Europe. I am currently investing in various projects that operate on the basis of disruption. Examples of this “blue ocean strategy are: Easee online, Concord Neonatal, Royal Patat in Shanghai, Loopper and Tubes Gifts. Last but not least, I have started The Social Brand Club.

After completing my studies in marketing & economics in the late 1990s, I started as a marketing manager at Image Traders International, where Stef hired me. Stef and I have been working together ever since. Over the past 25 years I have gained knowledge and expertise in all facets of the trading industry, like production, import, distribution, marketing and branding. We have now built up The Social Brand Club together with an international team of professionals, with my friends Stef and Jesse. We are ready to sail the blue oceans.
