I help build and scale businesses - working with middle market, early stage startups and scale up companies looking to enter, or build, or further grow in the US. Pairing capital formation with strategic talent acquisition; when capital is no longer the bottleneck, but talent is! The last 10+ years:

✨I helped build and scale an emerging asset manager in a novel strategy, raising equity capital and fund assets, find boardmembers and the buyer for an exit sale (Eaglewood);
✨I introduced, built and exited a non-US AI/data analytics company (James);
✨Building and scaling an early stage AI/data analytics company (CClear)

Today I focus on matching US talent with (US based) European companies at YER USA, while also being involved in a number of related activities:

✨I am a startup mentor with imec.istart, the #1 university backed accelerator in the world (EU based, focus on deep tech and nano tech)
✨Benelux350 Founder

I have a proven track record of introducing cutting-edge products and services, acquiring and retaining clients, generating revenue streams, and creating value for stakeholders.

VP, Digital Marketing and eCommerce

At Assist You Today, we help you avoid becoming the next Sears by modernizing your marketing and sales approach. The world has changed. Traditional marketing and sales methods (e.g. cold calling and blast emailing) become less and less effective by the day. To survive, companies must employ more social media, use more data-driven decision-making, and become more customer-centric. That's where we come in.

As a former head of social media, marketing and sales at Fortune 500 companies, I’ve built my reputation by transforming the way companies think via innovation, “what if” thinking and improving the bottom-line.

I have generated exponential sales boosts in the technology, financial services, entertainment and retail verticals - on both the agency and corporate sides, and for both B2B and B2C organizations.

Spent almost 10 years at Assist You Today helping change the way the world sells through digital marketing, innovation and social selling. We created custom-tailored sales and marketing programs to achieve key objectives by adding value to end-clients.

As of December, 2025, I am retired an looking forward to a lot of volunteer work and spending time with my family.
