Our Mission

Change is constant, and to stay relevant, you need to be a lifelong learner, stay curious, be creative, and have an abundance mindset. Over almost 25 years, I had the privilege to advise and work with many talented business leaders across many different industries. I had opportunities to explore, experiment, and innovate. At times I had to navigate unchartered waters, but never was there a doubt, and eventually, as a team, we were able to succeed.

 

Innovation-driven Entrepreneurs need to find the right resources and validate a suitable market for their products. As a former Regional Head of Advisory and Innovation for KPMG, I had to identify industry shifts driven by exponential technologies and changing market dynamics. Business and innovation leaders need to understand how these industry shifts will impact their existing business model and how they can become more resilient.

​

It was clear that Corporations had to focus on the 3rd horizon, the transformative horizon, and that innovation has to be the basis for their strategic plan. Innovation leaders need to deal with the resistance to change and implement innovation management capabilities for this to happen. On the other hand, no longer can innovation be done solely as an internal activity. Open innovation and, more importantly, Ecosystem Innovation are enabling Corporations to accelerate this process.

​

I had the honor to advise, mentor, and evaluate many Startups and Scale-Ups. Even though they have great ideas, passion, and enthusiasm, they lack strategy, long-term plans to raise capital and scale their business model.

​

This is how I came to find my purpose: “Impact and inspire innovation-driven Entrepreneurs and Corporations.”

 

The job is not done.
