Keynote speaker about digital transformation and moderator

Technology made accessible in
TED-worthy talks

I started building websites when I was 13. By organizing 50 TEDx events worldwide, I have come into contact with countless cool innovations and technologies. Completely fascinated by this, I started with crypto and blockchain in 2015, later in VR and AI. This started with setting up two companies; a consultancy boutique and a scale-up with an $18 million investment. In my spare time I am also a Digital Leader at the World Economic Forum and a Board Member at the Blockchain Netherlands Foundation. I regularly share the knowledge and skills from my daily work with new technologies, such as cryptocurrencies, NFTs, GenAI and metaverse, in trend blogs, which have already attracted more than a million readers. I also regularly speak about these topics at events worldwide.

Energetic, enthusiastic, passionate and with a touch of humor

Based on my experience with the TED events, I have been able to moderate many events at home and abroad in recent years. Monitoring the time, structuring the conversations, announcing the speakers and asking the right questions. Bringing the conversation to life, bringing out the best in speakers, guests and the audience.

I do this with enthusiasm and a healthy dose of energy. Being sharp where necessary and finding the right mix between content and entertainment. From experience with the organization of TED events, I know how important it is to prepare extensively with both the organization and the speakers.
