What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining marketing, content strategy and AI implementation in a growth-focused, pragmatic team where I can lead projects and scale revenue streams.

I am a multidisciplinary, self-taught professional with sixteen years of experience in online marketing, content and entrepreneurship. I founded and scaled multiple online magazines and marketing businesses, leading editorial teams and mentoring interns.

As founder and Editor-in-Chief of DailyBase I built a monthly audience of over 100,000, wrote/edited more than 25,000 articles, led branded campaigns with major national and international brands, and successfully sold the business in late 2023.

Through my agency STERK media I represented major men's lifestyle sites and delivered sponsored content across a network reaching roughly 3 million unique visitors; STERK media was sold in 2024. I also founded several publications including Free Birds Magazine, MNLK Magazine, and DomeinNamenNederland.

Following the sale of my company I retrained as a professional travel and culture photographer, built an international brand and multiple revenue streams, and continue to implement AI and marketing tools to grow businesses.

I am pragmatic, growth-driven, creative, and flexible to work worldwide.
