Who I am and what I stand for
My first pitch? To an investor. My second? To a two-star chef. It is always the same core: believing in what you do and what it contributes.
Since then, I have been building the world of food & drinks with a head full of ideas and hands ready to work.
My journey started young, in the startup world. At Birdhouse, I was there from the start, developing operations and leading the board of directors. A school in moving fast, making decisions, and getting people moving. With Renard Drinks, I dove deep. In 2017, non-alcoholic was still no-man’s land. We aimed for fine dining, collaborating with Michelin-starred chefs, and creating a space for flavour without alcohol. The market wasn’t ready yet. But I was. Renard Drinks taught me everything about timing, education, and perseverance without confirmation.
I move between startups and multinationals, always at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and commerce.
My latest stop? Head of Innovation & Business Development at Solucious, where I led a team of 20 and launched new concepts.
What do I do?
I help brands, entrepreneurs, and teams who want to move forward. Those who feel something should shift but don’t have the time, space, or means to make it happen.
I bring focus, structure, and direction without putting out the fire.
What do I believe?
My conviction? We are evolving from consumption to ritual, from linear to regenerative, from product to meaning. And together, we build that future, preferably with flavour.
What can you hire me for?
As a project leader with a strong commercial and creative backbone
As a team lead who provides direction and space
As a strategic thinker or sparring partner in innovation and transformation
For rethinking or launching brands, categories, or business models
For future thinking that doesn’t stay in the clouds but lands in reality
And besides that?
I love outdoor cooking and enjoy seeing how flavours come together, just like people. I’m always looking for wonder in travel, books, and ideas. I wish I could live in the future. Wait… we do that today. And I’m happy to help give it direction.
