Writer & Researcher

Self-Employed

I ghostwrote for a NYT Bestselling author and serial entrepreneur.

Ghostwriter

What do Jesus, Socrates, and Marco Polo have in common? 

They all used ghostwriters to capture their knowledge. 

My name's Dennis, and I run Founders Ink — my specialized ghostwriting agency.

We help experts and entrepreneurs create professional thought leadership. 

How do we do it?

By ghostwriting value-led social media posts, articles, and newsletters that help generate inbound.

I say "ghostwriting" because everyone understands what that means.

But to be honest, the work we do is closer to that of a scribe.

Here's the difference:

Scribe: 100% your ideas, in your words, in your voice.

Ghostwriter: 30% your ideas, fill in the rest with conventional wisdom.

We help our clients unlock the wisdom and expertise that's stuck in their head.

Then we scale that knowledge across digital media to attract those who will benefit from it most. 

Your target audience.

I inspire people, teams and organizations with growing pains to ignite meaningful work.

I am an off-the-chart ENFP, a challenger, an activator and an optimist.  I use my left- and right brain hemispheres simultaneously, always exploring routes to the full potential of my clients. I don’t just work for companies, I work for people. I prefer to work with frontrunners, who are the multipliers in organizations, also known as ‘Chiefs'.  I love crafting highly ambitious plans, supporting brave transformations and creating future-proof cultures with them. I build long-term relationships and follow my clients on their path of transformation. 

My approach is an intense cocktail of learning, experiencing, debating, deepening, speeding up, laughing and translating all into daily life. People leave my sessions energized and determined to start. 

I travel around Europe to work with a high variety of clients and always return to my favorite city Berlin, where I live with my wife and kids.
