PERSONAL PITCH
As a successful organizer, pioneer and expert of Dutch youth cultures I know how to
translate market needs into new, sustainable and large-scale events in a creative
and sustainable way. Due in part to my business administration background, I am
not only able to develop new concepts, but also to implement and execute them
successfully. My large business network and knowledge of brand perception and
positioning help me to engage sponsors and make the new concepts financially
feasible.
