For almost two decades I have supported companies manage their risks and capture their potential using technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. I have done this from many sides of the table: corporate, SME, investor or advisor. I have come to believe technology, innovation and entrepreneurship are great means to serve human potential and build a brighter future. With technology, innovation and entrepreneurship comes responsibility. How can we facilitate a growing population without the claim on the earth and future generations? After many years of passionate work in public and private sector and a number of investments in disruptive innovations I feel I am uniquely positioned to provide guidance in managing these challenges and understand the profound changes that will be ushered by advances in technology. My unusual diversity of expertise allows me to apply multiple lenses to the global challenges we face. The focus of my work, books and articles is to understand and explain future trends, what this means for our society and how to capture the opportunities. This helps me to realize a positive long-term impact on both a professional and personal level. Currently I enjoy freelancing to keep abreast of developments and to reinforce my experience from investing, consulting and industry. I frequently publish articles in a variety of leading magazines and newspapers. In 2009 I published the book 'Value creation in turbulent times'. In 2017 I published a novel (fiction) 'Meneer Miwa' (ISBN 9789082691504 - English translation will follow).
