My story
In the first 10 years, I learned everything about sales and leadership at Concentra Media (now Mediahuis), and over the past 14 years at Wildstream, I immersed myself in entrepreneurship, technology, and transforming businesses. We evolved from a digital collective of over 40 people to an expert group of more than 130 employees with an annual revenue of over 10 million euros, 80% of which recurring. As managing partner, I was actively involved in running our own SaaS platforms and IT company, but as CEO, I look back with pride at founding Hybrid in 2012 and the successful pivot in 2019 from a web agency to a performance marketing agency. Today, Hybrid is a leading expert agency with clients such as Ava, Aveve, X2O, Impermo, Albert Heijn, etc., achieving a yearly recurring revenue (YRR) of nearly 3 million euros and annual growth of nearly 20%. So you could say I combined founding and managing 2 tech companies with transforming a human capital business, all with great passion, enthusiasm, and dedication!
Although I didn't fully realize it at the time, the seed was planted in November 2022, the day the entire sector was surprised by the rapid rise of LLM ChatGPT. Despite being digitally active since the dot-com bubble burst, pioneering a big data platform in 2012, and having launched over 10 SaaS platforms within the Wildstream group, I felt a sense of rebirth. I can't imagine a single sector that won't be transformed by AI and see enormous challenges ahead. On one hand, AI is multidisciplinary and needs strong generalists who can build bridges. On the other hand, many companies have not yet completed their digital transition and managers and executives understand little about the playing field we find ourselves in today. Each of these companies will need an AI champion who maintains oversight and takes the lead in a sustainable transition. This is precisely the role where not only my enormous passion for AI takes center stage, but where I also see a fantastic mission that will give me even more fulfillment than the wonderful experiences I've had over the past years.
