I am a seasoned entrepreneur with a Master’s degree in Business from Erasmus University. I began my entrepreneurial journey at the age of 23 and successfully built and sold Metalura to a private equity firm. After experiencing and overcoming personal burnout at the age of 29, I became an angel investor and a personal business coach. Later, I wrote this book and founded Living Hope VC, a tech-focused venture capital firm, to bring a unique perspective on mental well-being to the tech investment world.

I have a broad interest in philosophy, psychology, history, religion, society, and entrepreneurship, and I am an avid reader of biographies. With a deep understanding of resilience and mental health, I am committed to supporting founders in building successful and sustainable businesses.
