𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
I started my career in the media industry 17 years ago, initially as a Digital Sales Expert at companies like Elsevier and De Telegraaf. Eventually, I landed at NRC, where I became responsible for revenue from all media agencies in the Netherlands.

About 6/7 years ago, my interest in investing sparked, initially driven by the crypto hype. However, I realized crypto wasn't my preference, but I found stocks intriguing due to the underlying businesses with profits and free cash flows. That's when my passion for investing began, and it hasn't waned since then.
