I am co-founder of CDEF Holding BV, a remarkable range of companies operating in the field of the hospitality industry and the world of social media. 

CDEF Holding BV exploits 'much discussed', disruptive Blue Ocean formulas, like the co-working and meeting centres Seats2meet.com, the co-working locations Seats2meet.com Workspace, the virtual collaboration eco-system Mindz.com, the internet communication company Cyberdigma BV and the meeting- and congres centers Meeting Plaza's.

I studied at the Hogere Hotelschool in The Hague and I have been an entrepreneur since 1985. Prior to thist, I held positions in the international travel trade- and hospitality Industry. 

In the meantime I also have become an enthusiastic trendwatcher, public speaker and internet strategist.
