Build impactful communities by hiring community builders that have been there and done that.

I am my own harshest critic, which also makes me everyone's easiest friend to make. Only because I will allow you to be someone who makes mistakes. It's only when you step into the inner circle that I'm uninhibited enough to share my opinions openly, but expect only greatness from yourself, while you're within my reach. It is the ability to see & want to understand someone's life makings, and want to make them seem interesting to other people that will likely get along with them, but don't know it yet. Trust me to be able to string words together that make it seem like it is me talking, and not a bot sending out reminders, my special skill? Waiting 3 extra minutes before I hit send so I can populate the message with all the right emoji! Community enabled me to learn some of my favourite things about people & people interaction was that - • We like being spoken to, with intent • We like being recognised, and • We like being taken care of. Anyone who disagrees, is probably lying, or just want these three things in a slightly different way. I'm passionate about curation merchandise for companies that gets their community members hyped about it, I'm all about personalisation and taking the time, I'm not someone whose skills transcend dozens of thousands of people. But I will wager I'm worth all of that to just singular members! The scope of work I want to do exists at the sweet spot intersection between: Community x Events x Merchandising Whether it's a consult on merchandising ideation, design, production or packaging. I love it all. Talking to me about the scope of what events could be run, could run us out of a notebook. And you'll see me best at work interacting with people live!

With over ten years of leadership in innovation and entrepreneurship, I am dedicated to strategic transformation and project management that drive sustainable growth. My career is defined by an unwavering commitment to open innovation and social responsibility, catalyzing significant changes in the business ecosystem. My project management experience began with coordinating complex initiatives at INCmty, overseeing national programs that pushed the boundaries of entrepreneurship and innovation. Managing these projects required technical expertise, the ability to lead diverse teams, foster collaboration, and align every project element with a broader vision of social impact and sustainability. As Program Manager and Coordinator of Operations at INCmty, I led the HEINEKEN Green Challenge, a sustainable business initiative that impacted thousands of entrepreneurs in southeastern Mexico. Here, I honed my skills in coordinating large-scale initiatives, managing stakeholder relationships, and driving innovation with an ethical focus. Driving Innovation: Turning Ideas into Action Innovation has always been at the core of my career.

Whether mentoring as a Master Coach at Platzi or teaching entrepreneurship at Tecnológico de Monterrey, I focus on empowering others to reach their full potential. I believe true innovation comes from enabling others to turn their ideas into reality, and I’m dedicated to providing the tools, resources, and guidance needed to make that happen. What sets me apart is my ability to see the bigger picture while managing the finer details of project execution. My journey blends strategic thinking, hands-on leadership, and a deep commitment to social impact. I’ve learned that successful project and program management goes beyond meeting deadlines and budgets; it’s about creating value that extends beyond the project itself.

My journey into community work began with my extensive experience as an Affiliate Marketing Manager, a role that honed my skills in relationship and partnership-based marketing. This experience taught me the importance of building lasting relationships and creating win-win opportunities, a skill I now bring to community co-creation and nurturing.

I am passionate about intentional communities and have visited several, including Tamera in Portugal, where I completed their month-long Community Course, Piracanga in Brazil, and various communities in Mexico. These experiences have deepened my understanding of living in harmony with nature and each other, and they continually inspire my work. I've extensively trained myself on the topics of relating and community, and I've completed courses such as "Working with Conflict in Community" "Systems change" "Community building" etc. These courses have equipped me with tools that are essential for nurturing resilient and cohesive communities. I was born into two cultures, Dutch and Portuguese. I've lived for 4 years in Barcelona, 4 in London, and have been nomadicly for nearly a decade.

I started believing in communities when I joined the Pune Running Community. And because of the community I was able to complete my 1st half marathon. And since then, I have been part of many communities and also started one called RemoteIndian that is a Community for remote workers in India 👨‍💻🇮🇳👩‍💻 that enables Indian professionals to help each other navigate, balance and grow in a remote career. I also was the Head of Community @ Pesto where I had the following highlights Led efforts to impact 20% of sales through community outreach: Built a 4-member team, organized events, fostered a 5,000+ online space, and curated helpful content. Helped over 650 people learn Javascript with a free training program, supporting skill-building within the community. Launched a weekly newsletter with a 15% open rate, sharing insights and inspiration to nurture connections.
