Bio:
With a heritage that blends Dutch-American Indian roots with a Chinese twist, my path has been anything but conventional.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve navigated the blurred lines between business, technology, and culture. Beginning at Hewlett Packard in 2009, I moved on to facilitate Dutch-Chinese market entries, held strategic advisory roles at PwC & Startupbootcamp, and made ecosystem contributions to Slush, EuroCham Myanmar, and the University of Oxford among others. These roles have enabled me to support the growth of over 100 startups and scale-ups, focusing on business modeling, international expansion, and fundraising.
In the past seven years, operating as an independent advisor, I’ve honed my strategies and systems to manage a diverse portfolio of engagements, underpinned by a deep commitment to personal development. My methodology merges business strategy, philosophy, visualization, and practical execution to unlock potential and bridge the gap between current realities and desired futures.
As an advisor/coach, I am committed to driving steady progress, whether you’re launching a startup, scaling your business, or seeking to enhance your personal life infrastructure.
