Bio

Working for Dirk was a great experience. He was one of the most inspiring and magnetic leader that I had ever had the luck to work for. Joining YOC he understood very quickly the challenges and the opportunities for the company. Dirk has a great understanding of any kind of digital business and was able to built strategic products. He was able to communicate what he was doing and where the company was heading too. All employees were informed and understood the directions Dirk wanted YOC to be. If you’re looking for a C-role in your company I recommend Dirk without restrictions.

Reporting into Dirk, during a number of roles and projects for both of us in ADTECH and AOL, has always been an exciting challenge, with a big geographical distance and extremely busy schedules (especially on Dirks side), that we managed to build success from. This was possible a lot thanks to Dirks clear leadership, ability to delegate, build mutual trust and a spooky capability to understand when his attention is really needed and manage to find time in his calendar with very short notice. Dirks understanding and knowledge of both high and detailed level of any territory market and to remember organizations, people and history around them from years back, proves a genuine interest in online business and people. I hope to get the opportunity to work with Dirk again.
