Jochem

I am a Senior executive (20+ years) C-Level, Board Director and entrepreneur who has led/served as principal in IT Infrastructure Technology Solutions, network and Internet Infrastructure organisations (datacenter and telecommunications). Managed diverse and multi- lingual teams teams across strategy (Finance, Legal, HR, Sales, Marketing, Engineering/ Technology) supporting customers across Asia, EMEA, and North America with P&L responsibility across territories. Experienced in corporates, growth strategies and Business process. I have continued success scaling and expanding technology-driven business units and entire companies, maximizing revenues and acquiring customers in competitive markets.

A steady theme throughout my career has been that I thrive on disruptive and transformational ventures in large, global corporations as well as setting up start-ups. I am a builder, innovator, and 'sleeves rolled up' leader who has had continued success leading high-growth sales teams and organizations (I'm getting "shit" done).

I also have a strong technical understanding of the technologies that cause digital disruption and how to apply them to drive business growth. This creates a unique ability to align with customers throughout their technology journey, identify market and adoption patterns, competently communicate business value, and maintain technical credibility.

I enjoy working in the gray area between technology and business and enjoy using the combination of creativity and technical expertise across multiple regions. I love start-ups, scale-ups, building businesses and creating high performance teams (getting things done!)

What makes me happy? From getting things done, building businesses, sailing, windsurfing, traveling and good food. And from people with a positive drive and energy.
