Absolutely. My work and personal life have taken me across Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Taiwan, where I currently split my time. These international experiences have shaped my global perspective and understanding of diverse markets and educational environments. I’ve also lived in France and have worked in many other countries worldwide.

This international exposure means I can bring a truly global outlook to the workshops I lead, which is especially valuable for students preparing to work in an increasingly interconnected world. I’ve had the privilege of working in regions such as:

• Americas | Canada, Haiti, Jamaica, other Caribbean nations, Panama, Suriname, USA
• Australasia | China, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan, Singapore
• MEA | Congo, DRC, Israel, Gabon, Sierra Leone
• Europe | Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK

I’m excited to share these experiences and insights with your students and faculty.

Over the years, I’ve been featured in a variety of media, including magazines, newspapers, radio, TV, and YouTube, sharing insights on business, economic trends, and education. My experience as a Country Manager for Dale Carnegie Training and my work with global organisations has made me a sought-after voice in these discussions.

For example, while working closely with the Netherlands Embassy in Ireland, I had the privilege of engaging with Prime Minister Mark RUTTE (now NATO Secretary General) and Their Royal Highnesses, the King and Queen of the Netherlands. During this time, I was often called upon by the embassy for commentary, providing international perspectives on topics ranging from economic issues to cultural trends.

Given my current focus on Taiwan and its dynamic educational landscape, I am readily available for media engagements, particularly to provide insights on developments in Taiwan’s education sector, learning and development trends, and global business.

As the Country Manager of Dale Carnegie Training in the Benelux, I became a certified trainer in:

• Leadership
• Personal Effectiveness
• Presentation Skills
• Sales & Sales Management

In addition to these core areas, my extensive experience in founding, growing, and restructuring businesses allows me to offer workshops on topics that are particularly relevant for students and staff at academic institutions, such as:

• Business Development
• Intercultural Business
• Learning & Development
• Career Development (selling yourself)
• Mergers & Acquisitions
• People Engagement
• Innovation & Restructuring

I’m confident we can tailor these topics to meet the needs of your students and faculty, preparing them for success in both local and global contexts. Just thrown down a challenge and we'll see what can be done!

My approach to collaboration is highly flexible and designed to meet the unique needs of each institution. Whether partnering with universities, businesses, or governments, I tailor my services to ensure that both educational and organisational objectives are achieved. These collaborations can range from one-off workshops to ongoing consultancy and long-term programmes that align with academic goals.

When working with higher education institutions, I focus on creating sustainable partnerships that add real value to students and faculty, while delivering impactful outcomes. My compensation models are adaptable and may include:

• Project-based fees
• Retainers
• Fixed + variable models

I am committed to fostering mutually beneficial partnerships that support the success of both the institution and its students.

Absolutely! I’m a big believer in serendipity—the idea that chance meetings can lead to great opportunities. I’m always open to meeting new people, whether they’re students, faculty, business professionals, or members of the press.

If you’d like to discuss how my workshops or insights could benefit your students or organisation, feel free to book a meeting with me. We’ve got nothing to lose and plenty to gain!

I’m proud to partner with leading organisations like:

• Business | Crystal Clear Economics, Marktlink, ...
• Finance | ABN AMRO, BNP, Santander, ...
• L&D | CEDEO, ELSA Speak, Elycio, ...
• Tech | Chargebee, HubSpot, Quotanda, ...

These partnerships enable me to incorporate cutting-edge industry insights into my workshops, particularly in areas like AI-as-a-Service, Finance-as-a-Service, and Learning & Development. By drawing on these collaborations, I can tailor workshops that help universities prepare their students for the evolving demands of the workforce, equipping them with practical knowledge in finance, technology, and professional development.
