About

Coming from a family of cigar makers, industrial entrepreneurship has stolen my heart at young age. Master degrees in both mechanical engineering and business administration have created a solid basis for my professional career and multiple ventures. My experience ranges from strategy development & implementation, industrial marketing & sales, global (out)sourcing, open innovation and internationalisation in the automotive and (high tech) manufacturing industry. I'm a serial entrepreneur and excel in out-of-the-box thinking, opportunity scouting, business modelling and execution with a signature consisting of pragmatism, enthusiasm, perseverance and cost-consciousness. In 2012 I founded, together with Jonas Wintermans, Additive Industries, a young company dedicated to bringing metal additive manufacturing for functional parts from lab to fab by offering a modular 3D printing system and a seamlessly integrated information platform to high-end and demanding industrial markets.
