Commercial Lead at EvidenceHunt, closing enterprise deals with Roche and building its Life Science sales function.

Netherlands
Message

At EvidenceHunt, I’m the first commercial hire, working directly under the Co-Founder on an AI-powered Medical Information & Research platform for healthcare and life sciences. I closed enterprise deals with Roche, BeOne Medicines and ProPharma Group, and achieved 110% of quota in my first full quota period after a six-month build phase.

I built the commercial Life Science function from the ground up, including sales playbooks, a validated sales methodology, ICP refinement and go-to-market work. I also implemented AI for prospecting, research, personalization, notes and CRM hygiene, alongside a sales tech stack using HubSpot, Clay and Apollo.

At Coolset, I established a Benelux partner ecosystem with more than 20 strategic partnerships and helped grow the commercial function from a founder-led effort to a structured team of four. The team tripled annual revenue in both 2023 and 2024, scaling from €200K to €1.2M, while I secured and expanded enterprise accounts including Bolletje, Bynder, Kooi Security and Van Mossel.

Earlier, at Meltwater, I retained more than 90 EMEA clients with €1.5M in annual recurring revenue. My legal background includes an LLM in Corporate Law and work as a working student at Hammerstein Advocaten N.V., where I wrote procedural documents on complex legal issues.
