<p class="hero-sub">For more than three decades I've brought together the entrepreneurs, researchers, artists, policymakers and thought leaders defining what's next — across technology, AI, creativity and innovation. Most of that work happens before anyone walks into the room: choosing the question, finding the people who can actually answer it, and shaping a programme that goes somewhere. Sometimes I'm on stage too.</p>
<p class="hero-sub">I identify emerging shifts early and create the rooms where the people shaping those shifts meet.</p>

<h3>Curating</h3>

<h3>Connecting</h3>
<p>Decades working alongside people at the edge of technology, creativity and policy have left me with a wonderful network. I like to put it to use — bringing together people I think should know each other, often nothing more formal than an introduction at a cocktail party.</p>

Today, my focus is AI, but the heart of my work remains the same: identifying important ideas early, asking the right questions, exploring possibilities and helping people navigate change.</p>

<p class="big-quote" style="margin-top:20px;">Every programme starts with one question: <span>what should be different in the world after this event?</span></p>
</div>
<div class="method-steps">
<div class="method-step">
<h4>Define the themes</h4>
<p>What are the questions this industry actually needs to grapple with right now — and how do they intersect with what's coming in the next twelve months?</p>
</div>
<div class="method-step">
<h4>Find the speakers</h4>
<p>Not the most famous name — the person who can say something no one else in the room is saying, and say it well.</p>
</div>
<div class="method-step">
<h4>Design the format</h4>
<p>A fireside chat, a panel, a debate — or a talkshow, a quiz, an AMA, a walk through the city: the format is a decision, not a default. I brief every moderator and speaker accordingly.</p>
</div>
<div class="method-step">
<h4>Moderate from real preparation</h4>
<p>The conversations that feel unscripted are usually the most prepared. I read everything before I ask anything, and I call every guest beforehand — so I know exactly where to push once we're on stage.</p>
</div>
<div class="method-step">
<h4>Keep the connection going</h4>
<p>The best conversations don't end when the session does. Away from any stage, I occasionally convene small invitation-only gatherings in Amsterdam — technologists, artists, designers, journalists and researchers, sharing what they're working on. No write-up.</p>

<div class="about-copy">
<p>I've spent more than three decades bringing together the people shaping technology, media and society — from the early days of the internet and the European TV and Film Forum in Düsseldorf in the 1990s, through founding my own digital-media research and publishing house, to today's researchers, founders, policymakers and business leaders shaping the future of AI.</p>
<p>What has stayed constant is not a particular technology, but a fascination with the people who are changing the world — and a habit of finding the conversations that need to happen before they become obvious.</p>
<p>I studied Language and Literature at Katholieke Universiteit Brabant and Drawing and Graphic Arts at the Academie voor Beeldende Vorming in Tilburg (both cum laude), with graduate studies in History and Literature at Boston University. I've worked for the European Institute for the Media in Manchester and Düsseldorf, and founded my own research and events company — the Europemedia newsletter, with 60,000 subscribers, and the TV Meets the Web series of events — before going independent. I've since sat on the boards or advisory councils of organisations including Gridforum and Mediagateway (infrastructure), broadcaster NPS, the Filmmuseum Amsterdam (media), Next Nature and the Fontys Academy for Creative Industries (arts), and served on several government advisory committees.</p>
