“Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time”
i’m an engineer by background.
That means I’m highly analytical and pursue experimentation, facts and data-driven decisions.
…but i’m also a creative.
And as such, feel comfortable with ambiguity, instinct, intuition and gut-feeling.
as a result, I thrive environments where I can hover in and out of this fine balance.
Working outside of conventional structured environments inspires me. I find value in differences and highly encourage the divergence of viewpoints. To me, non-traditional backgrounds are a source of inspiration.
Open exploration, discovery, learning and collaboration are all features which I highly value. I love everything about ideas. From brainstorming in open formats, to structured ideation, to converging into applicable solutions, to testing and operationalising them. I’m a strategic thinker, but moreover, I’m a doer. I like getting things done and bringing ideas to reality.
I’m a people person and I’m convinced it is only by working in close-knit teams, built on personal trust, that results can repeatedly surpass expectations.
sometimes I write.

Let this be an opportunity to shift our minds’ attention from the lethargy of custom and into the new world we want to create on the other side of the cataclysm. Read more →
meaningful work matters
Empowerment, control over work, and healthy efforts/rewards balance are positive stressors that contribute to a fuller life. Doing work that matters is a source of happiness.
We owe it to ourselves to strive daily towards building an enriching and fulfilling life. So how do we step out of autopilot mode, and have a more active stance towards life and work? What does it mean to work on purpose? To live on purpose? Read more →
