  • A bit of history
    • Hippolytushoef, Noord-Holland, Nederland
    • Where it all started...
      • Jan 2005 - Dec 2007

      Is this a real experience? Yes! Resume-worthy? Not by a longshot. But it felt odd to leave out such an essential part, namely, where the entrepreneurial adventure began. The journey first sparked when I started selling flower bulbs in a neighbourhood of my hometown, Hippolytushoef, at the age of 8. The flower bulbs were purchased from my grandpa, who got them from a local agrarian. I packaged, distributed and sold the flower bulbs by driving around on a pedal-powered go-kart. Even though I very well knew that my young age and smile did all the talking when ringing the doorbell, I managed to sell out time and time again. This moment in time is what blossomed my entrepreneurial curiosity and desire to grow and develop ideas and companies. Looking back after more than a decade, it continues to amaze me to notice how comparable my strong urges to grow and develop are with the blossoming phase flower. A famous quote by Robert Louis Stevenson became an important intrinsic saying in my life. It goes as follows: “Don’t judge each day by the harvest that you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” Show less
