I joined NOM in 2021, driven by my ambition to make social impact. In my role, I help startups grow in sectors that are important for a sustainable future. In addition, as an innovator, I enjoy working on product development and innovation issues internally. Such as developing and implementing our D&I policy internally, optimizing internal work processes, and (further) developing services that help entrepreneurs grow.
Through the Market/Startup Readiness Program, we help startups with market validation. I also serve as a sounding board for entrepreneurs, with a specific focus on SaaS business models.
My international work experience in cities such as London, Tokyo, Manama and Nairobi, combined with my background in Innovation Management (MSc), gives me a broad perspective on startup teams, innovation and scale-up issues. I enjoy working with passionate entrepreneurs such as Nuwa Pen and Young Heroes, whom I have successfully guided to funding through our Investor Readiness Program. Do you have a growth issue and are looking for a sounding board? If so, feel free to contact me.
In my spare time, I take portrait photos, love to be in nature, on a bike, hiking or horseback, and explore unknown paths by taking distant trips, preferably in Africa.
