Director Strategic Innovation and Transformation

An experienced innovation leader with a strong track record of heading cross-organizational high-uncertainty projects. I understand what it takes to structure and drive initiatives in agile and effective ways — ensuring alignment and value delivery across projects, programs, and portfolios.

I excel at navigating complexity, maturing early-stage ideas into validated opportunities, and anchoring new initiatives within organizations. I turn ambiguity into direction — applying design thinking, experimentation, and customer insights to shape strategic bets and accelerate execution. I work across partnerships between large corporates and start‑ups to mature new business opportunities, and I thrive when running design sprints and open innovation programs that turn complex challenges into tangible solutions.

Mijn talent

I am a natural doer — someone who moves ideas into execution and makes progress happen. I am not afraid to jump into unknown territory and kick-start new initiatives.

I combine my strategic mindset with a human-centered approach to turn complex challenges into clear, actionable outcomes. Whether it is hosting workshops, launching new initiatives, shaping strategies, or accelerating existing projects, I deliver impact with speed, structure, and focus.

Due to my background, I know how to bridge technical details with commercial insights, to ensure real value creation.

Met dit nummer ga ik knallend het weekend in

I mostly listen to pop, rap, and indie. I usually start the weekend with something rhythmic and energizing — the kind of track that instantly shifts the mindset from structured workdays to active energy and time with family.
