Passion is the primary ingredient to my being. About me 👇

I forge movements behind undeniable shifts in the world.

I remodel companies from participants to change agents. 

I build teams who's careers are transformed by the audacity of an unshakable vision & intense pace.

Back-to-back unicorns (PandaDoc, Drift). Board experiences in capacity as an executive, founder, small investor, and advisor (and plenty of lessons from my failed startups too, of course). 

Co-Founder of PartnerHacker (acq 2023), Co-Founder of Nearbound.com, Chief Ecosystem Officer at Reveal, and currently leading the nearbound industry in the best ecosystem in B2B - the partnerships ecosystem.

Always willing to help those who ask. I've taken hundreds of calls with first time entrepreneurs, revenue leaders, and partnership professionals. Help first, good follows. 

Play long term games with long term people 🤝

Chairman and CEO

Co-founder and CEO

Co-founder and Managing Director

As the founder and former CEO of a successful European technology company that achieved a significant exit, I established VenKuni to provide hands-on consulting and negotiation services to help European tech companies build optimal ecosystems and leverage Strategic and Channel partnerships to drive growth. We support external growth strategies (Buy & Build), facilitating the completion of companies' functional scope and international expansion.

VenKuni employs a proven methodology, supported by cutting-edge software and AI, to ensure clients develop winning strategies by aligning Product Market Fit with coherent Go-to-Market strategies. We capitalize on partnership opportunities and external growth initiatives, always keeping exit objectives and timing in mind.

My deep understanding of ecosystems, partnerships, and external growth stems from my experience as CEO of Selligent, a Belgian startup I co-founded after my studies. Through strategic channel partnerships, channel partnerships, and acquisitions, Selligent became a global leader in marketing solutions. With around 400 employees, 10 offices across two continents, and €80 million in ARR, Selligent was successfully exited and is now part of the leading marketing software vendor Marigold.
