I am a specialist in the world where Food & Beverage and Retail cross paths. Partly due to my role as Head EMEA Retail, I am internationally and nationally oriented in all trends and developments and I am able to translate these into real estate issues.

I have been with the Colliers family since 2013. I laid the foundation for the Retail department. In 2018 I was asked to do the same for the new Food & Beverage department. With this I have shown to be innovative and innovative and to have entrepreneurship at heart.

Since 2018 I have also been a member of the Advisory Board of the Global Restaurant Investment Forum (GRIF). Together with my role as Head EMEA Retail, the combination of these two platforms is a unique tool to serve our customers well with creative "out of the box" solutions and to always be at the forefront of innovative concepts.
