I am a socially engaged real estate professional, with a broad experience in commercial real estate (transactions) and (physical) brand positioning & expansion.
Combining these skills enables me to operate as an effective translator between the real estate and brand domains. Utilising my extensive network, based out of the Netherlands, I focus on prime European cities and beyond, seeking close cooperation with and on behalf of (tech-forward) brands and investors.

During my last full-time position, I focused on the European roll-out for citizenM, an innovative lifestyle hotel brand, sourcing (re)development sites for acquisition, in prime European cities. In Germany, I structured a partnership with the largest hotel developer. Next to that, I was most active in the city of London, UK, expanding the (existing) portfolio and network.
Prior to my dive into the hotel real estate sector, I gained my commercial experience as investment broker, as part of the capital markets teams at leading advisory firms BNP Paribas Real Estate and DTZ Zadelhoff (now Cushman & Wakefield) in Amsterdam.
Graduated from the faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology, I hold an academic Masters degree (MSc) in Real Estate & Housing. I wrote my graduation thesis in collaboration with Deloitte Real Estate Advisory.
