Approach

My approach is simple: understand who you are first, then shape how that shows up in your brand. From messaging to positioning, every layer is intentional — balancing depth with clarity and trust.

Professional Experience

From ING to Emmy, Egret, STRAFFR to Turbit — most recently as Chief Marketing Officer. Multiple industries, multiple roles, always at the core: strategy, brand, digital marketing and leadership. ARU STUDIO is the current expression of that — the natural continuation of everything I've learned, but also a return to the starting point: the person behind it.
