==============================================
- Expat experiences, during childhood, throughout Latin America, especially Nicaragua and Guatemala;
- Successful entrepreneurial experiences in web-based communities (NL) and running a consulting agency in southern Limburg (NL);
- International Business Bachelor covering overall Business topics;
- International Business Master, Finance;
- Why enthusiastic about BID?
During my experiences in Latin America, I have experienced first hand that projects initiated by first-world organisations, the so-called top-bottom approach, are very inefficient or deliver poor results. In my opinion entrepreneurial initiatives from the bottom up are more likely to succeed due to the better understanding of the local market and the increased incentive due to entrepreneurship. I would like to deliver my overall business skills and other efforts to help these initiatives.
