About

No theory.
Just impact.

"Hospitality isn't just what I do โ€” it's where I've built my edge."

Senior commercial leader with a 25+ year track record across hotel sales, revenue, operations and international events. Based in The Hague, with a deep network across the Netherlands hospitality market.

From pre-opening strategy to on-the-ground execution, I bring structure, clarity and a trusted network across hotels, serviced apartments and hospitality partners throughout the Netherlands.

I plug in where you need me most โ€” navigating complex operational challenges, scaling your concept, or bridging the gap between commercial strategy and floor-level execution.

Meet Me At The Hotel

From the bridge
to the heart of it

My involvement with Meet Me At The Hotel began as the bridge between MMATH and Room Mate Aitana โ€” connecting the event's vision with the hotel's operational reality and ensuring both sides worked in seamless lockstep.

After four years of close collaboration, I stepped fully into the organisation of MMATH itself. That transition was built on trust, shared standards and a deep understanding of what it takes to run a world-class hospitality-driven event.

My role spans the operational backbone of the event: aligning partners, coordinating logistics, managing hotel integration, and ensuring every touchpoint โ€” from check-in to late-night sessions โ€” runs effortlessly.

Leading teams
to win

As Team Manager for the Dutch national Masters teams, I run the entire operation behind the scenes โ€” logistics, travel, sponsor relations, federation alignment and on-site execution at European and World Championships.

My job is to create the conditions for performance: removing friction, aligning every stakeholder, and making sure nothing stands between the team and winning. The medals belong to the players โ€” the structure that got them there is mine.
