Commercial leadership for technology companies.

I have spent more than 35 years in ICT, always where sales, marketing and partners meet. My career started in 1991 as a dealer manager in the Benelux, followed by commercial roles at MicroWarehouse and Fujitsu Siemens Computers. At Siemens Nederland I was managing director and business unit manager Enterprise Networks, with full P&L responsibility. There I built new indirect sales models and led an international task force that rolled them out worldwide.

In 2005 I founded ChainConnection as a channel marketing agency for major ICT vendors. Our work included the award-winning partner programmes HP Select and Vodafone Achievers, and event concepts for Equinix, Tech Data and Arrow. Arrow Partner Connect ran for more than seven years. I went on to become a partner at Engage Partners, which developed an SMB security solution together with Fortinet, co-founder and CCO of SaaS platform Channext, and strategic marketing manager at PAL-V.

Since 2024 I have been CCO of Msafe, a Dutch provider of secure file transfer for organisations that must demonstrably comply with laws and regulations. What I bring to every role: a commercial strategy that works in practice, creativity in marketing and a broad network in the ICT channel.
