Let's talk
Working with me

Growing in the Dutch and Benelux cycling market, without detours

Bicycle brands, retailers and B2B mobility companies that want to grow in the Netherlands usually need two things: a sharp commercial course and the right people to execute it. That is where I help.

I have done it myself

At JUIZZ I won the Dutch police tender for speed pedelecs, and the chain grew from 4 to 10 stores. Before that, I built partnerships there with ANWB, PostNL and Coolblue. Today I help build Upway in the Netherlands.

I know the chain from the inside: as a sales advisor and co-owner of a bike shop, as an account manager for brands such as Oneway and Veltec, as sales manager and General Manager at JUIZZ, and as commercial manager at Fynch Mobility. That lets me see quickly where growth stalls and who you need to get it moving again.

Experience outside the industry, at running brand On and as COO of Apple specialist leapp, helps me look at brand building, organisation and numbers as well.
