About
Blend of Research, Design and Product Management with 15+ years of experience growing a mix startup and multi-billion euro product portfolios.
To me success means, empowered teams, driving business growth by solving customer problems. I believe in using an outcome-driven framework that gives continuous feedback, enabling teams to make quality data-driven decisions.
...and I'm crazy about vegetarian food and Dutch cheese.
