In 2009, I founded m|ployee with a strong vision and a defined plan. However, I encountered challenges from various external factors such as shareholders, banks, employees, and meddlesome advisors. Dealing with the advisors was the most challenging, especially when things didn't go as planned.
In 2014, I decided to change course. Together with a dedicated team, we started documenting m|ployee's vision and strategy. This became a powerful tool for engaging everyone with m|ployee's future direction. Since then, we have achieved remarkable results, secured impressive deals, and built fantastic products with an amazing team.
I stepped down from the executive team at m|ployee at the end of 2021 but remained involved as a major shareholder and mentor to the company's managementteam. In early 2024, m|ployee was acquired by a global player (Bullhorn), resulting in a successful exit. Currently, I am active as a mentor with founderswise.com and nlgroeit, where I support entrepreneurs on their journey to success.
