I am a mathematician with a passion for people. I care for others and I love to inspire. People say my energy is contagious. Finding and empowering fellow-rebels is my passion.

All too often organisations misunderstand the power of rebellious people — they see the trouble, not the possibilities. In fact, rebelliousness is a positive behaviour trait, an act of courageous risk taking. Rebels are your ambassadors for innovation and change.

If you create the right environment for rebels, magic happens. I have seen this over and over again; better bottom line results and much happier and motivated people at the same time. With my company, reBella, which I founded in 2018 after a long successful corporate career, I help organisations to unleash their rebel talent.

Mostly, I enjoy working with people who dream big, know how to have fun, and get stuff done. To balance my energy, I play sports daily, from running to biking and going to the gym. On Saturdays, I drink champagne (or good cava!) with friends, since there is always something to celebrate!
