With my experience as an entrepreneur in the textile and fashion industry (15 years of FRESH! Collection) I know what it is like to be an entrepreneur. The sweet way was fun, the hard way was the most educational. The lessons I have learned make me a valuable discussion partner for entrepreneurs who are struggling with various challenges associated with specific phases in the growth process.

I am critical, but always with compassion for the entrepreneur: after all, it is quite something to guide an organization through all kinds of weather to the next port. In addition, entrepreneurs are the backbone of our GDP, we must cherish them. I will therefore do everything I can to help them with the challenges they face.

I combine a number of seemingly contradictory qualities in me: logic and creativity, businesslike with a warm heart, listening and speaking, numbers and letters, language and images, long-term vision and practical solutions. People who know me well will describe me as authentic, creative, spicy but also warm. A go-getter with a ‘Can Do’ mentality: ask Denise and it will be arranged.

My promises: energy, a critical eye and a good dose of humor.
