Marketing AI & Innovation Lead · B2B Enterprise SaaS · Amsterdam
I build AI-first marketing functions that actually deliver — from governance frameworks and team adoption through to embedded workflows and measurable commercial outcomes. Not pilots for the sake of it.
About
I've spent over a decade leading product marketing and GTM strategy for enterprise SaaS at Elsevier — and the last two years building something most marketing leaders are still trying to figure out: an AI-first marketing function that delivers real commercial outcomes.
My background spans product marketing, GTM strategy, and AI transformation. I understand the full arc: from value proposition and positioning through to the operating model changes required to embed AI into how teams actually work.
What I see most leaders get wrong is treating AI as a technology rollout. The organisations that win will be the ones that build the conditions for adoption — not just buy the licences.
I hold an Executive MBA from IE Business School (Dean's List), am a Certified Scrum Master, and write publicly on Substack about AI, leadership, and designing a simpler, more intentional career.
