A key hire, a price increase, a new market. It has been on your desk for weeks, and waiting is costing you.
Growth has flattened
Revenue is steady but not moving, and you're not sure which lever to pull first.
You want a straight answer
From someone who has built companies himself. Not a 40-page consultant report.
Track record
What I've built
Three moments that show how I work: selling something new, building from nothing and growing across borders.
SALT · tech & education
€1.2M
largest deal in SALT's history, within 7 months
Selling an unproven model until the market caught up
I built SALT's commercial side in the Netherlands, convincing companies to adopt a new way to train developers. Within seven months, Nationale-Nederlanden, a major Dutch insurer, signed. A year later I led the Dutch team as interim country manager.
EclecticRadio · with a business partner
100k+
monthly listeners within two years
From one listener across the street to 100,000 a month
Built with my business partner. Our first test broadcast reached one house across the street. With no ad budget or FM frequency, the station hit the top spot on Google for “online dance radio” and landed a long-running partnership in Monaco.
Secret Nobility · my own company
4
offices: New York, Dubai, Amsterdam, Singapore
An international brand from scratch
As founder, I built an exclusive membership community for luxury lifestyle management, with partners and clients worldwide. The brand, business development, partnerships and marketing were all mine.

Frequently asked questions
What is a business strategy session?+
A focused, one-on-one working session on one business problem. You send a short intake, we work through it for 60 minutes via Zoom or Teams, and you get a written action plan afterward. Built for owners of small and mid-sized businesses, not for big planning retreats.
How should I prepare?+
Write down the one decision you want to make, your rough numbers (revenue, clients, team) and what you already tried. A few lines is plenty; the booking form asks for exactly that.
Who is this for?+
Owners and executives of small and mid-sized businesses who want one business problem solved. Not a general chat.
What does it cost?+
$595, flat. That covers the intake, the 60-minute working session and your written action plan. You can reschedule up to 24 hours in advance.
What time zone do you work in?+
US Eastern Time. Calls are scheduled during your business day, on Zoom or Teams.
How is this different from the free intro call?+
The free intro call is a 20-minute first conversation: finding out what you need and whether we click. In the Strategy Session we work through one problem properly, with an intake beforehand and a written action plan afterward.
What if I want more help afterward?+
Then we'll look at whether hands-on work or ongoing advisory makes sense. No obligation.
