I don’t just consult. I engineer, manufacture, and build companies from the ground up.
With over 50 years of experience building, scaling, and successfully exiting multi-million-euro companies, I help founders turn their ideas into credible, profitable businesses that buyers want to acquire.
Waves and bubbles come and go.
I have been in business for over half a century. I have seen trends rise, capital flow, and hype die. I know what it takes to survive.
When I build a company, I don't chase the hype. I find the right wave, build a credible, capital-efficient business, and secure an exit before the bubble bursts. I have done this multiple times—building companies from scratch with my own capital and selling them for millions within three years.
Now, I help you do the same.
A lifetime of building real things.
I am an engineer and a manufacturer, not just an advisor. My journey started at age 23, when I invented the windsurfing board and started three factories to manufacture and export them worldwide.
Since then, my career has been defined by capital-efficient scaling and successful exits:
- Green Tech & Biotech: I founded BioKing (renewable energy) and AlgaeLink (algae-based biofuels), scaling them internationally and successfully selling both within three years.
- Own Manufacturing: I don’t outsource. I own the factories, design the heavy machinery, and engineer with premium materials (like stainless steel and AlMg3 aluminum) designed to last 25+ years.

Strategic Advisory Services
1. The "3-Year Exit" Blueprint
I built multiple companies and sold them within three years. I will help you structure your business, operations, and financials to attract serious buyers—without giving away your equity to venture capitalists.
2. Engineering & Manufacturing Scale-Up
With my own Dutch factory and decades of experience designing complex industrial systems, I help hardware, biotech, and green-tech startups move from prototype to mass production.
3. Media-Led Credibility & Inbound Sales
I don’t chase customers. I build credibility that makes customers from all over the world come to me. I will teach you how to leverage earned media, trade magazines, and television interviews to create a powerful inbound pipeline.
I know what works—and what doesn’t.
Recently, my team engineered and manufactured an advanced solar facade for boats and greenhouses. We built the machines, we owned the factory, and we used the highest-grade materials. The engineering was perfect. But the market wasn't ready to adopt it.
So, I shut it down and pivoted.
I tell you this because building a product is only half the battle. Market timing, media credibility, and cash flow are what actually determine your survival. When you work with me, you get an advisor who has been in the trenches, built the factories, negotiated the exits, and knows exactly how to avoid the expensive mistakes.
Let’s build a business that lasts.
Whether you are struggling with manufacturing, looking to scale internationally, or preparing your company for an exit, I have the technical know-how, the media network, and the track record to guide you.
