MY
VALUES

1

Upwards and Onwards

I'm dead-set on progress. For myself, for those around me and for everything I work on.

2

Happy people do good work

I believe by investing in people and deeply caring about their wellbeing, great things can be achieved.

3

Results matter
more than hours

Only micromanagers count hours - what matters is the outcome. Regardless of how long it takes and where the work happens.

Hands-on
Experience

I combine big gency
insights, lessons from personal ventures, and experience from sitting on leadership teams at
high-growth startups.

Proven Track
Record

My hand has been in the fire for tight targets more than once, and I've personally helped more than one company grow to 6-7 figure status.

Insight &
Knowledge

I have been a student of the craft for more 15 years and I have lectured on the topic at world renowed universities
and conferences.

WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE

A JACK OF ALL TRADES

I believe to be a master of marketing you need to have experience across the board. This allows me to cross-learn and cross-implement strategies and look at things from unconventional angles.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME

References are probably the most important thing when considering a new candidate for a role, so I collect them everywhere I go.

Kelly Romer, Head of People, RoomRaccoon

Stefan is probably one of the best people that I have had the privilege of working with. He is always levelheaded, calm and thinks logically and rationally about every decision he makes, whether it is for his team, individually or for the organisation.

GET TO KNOW ME

A South African with a German passport who married a Namibian girl and moved to The Netherlands, figuring out how to balance life between being a father, a serial musician and working two jobs.

I believe happiness is a choice, success is a mindset, everyone has something to teach me and the path to greatness leads uphill.
