About
Commercial Profile
Over 40 years of international experience in managing and scaling companies across The Netherlands, Albania, Tanzania, Poland, Morocco, and Germany.
Proven track record in family enterprise expansion, international project design, air purification technology, and renewable energy development. Today, as Shareholder & CEO of DNA Energy Group BV, I focus on major international renewable energy projects and building bridges between project owners, EPC contractors, technology partners, and global finance.
I bring a pragmatic, relationship-driven approach to complex cross-border projects — connecting the right people, structuring bankable deals, and ensuring every stakeholder’s contribution is valued.

Merovingians
Specialist in Merovingian History
Research and expertise in the early medieval Frankish kingdoms.
Beyond international project development, I maintain a deep spiritual interest in Merovingian history—the dynasty that ruled the Frankish kingdoms from the 5th to the 8th century. This includes the study of Antrustions, royal institutions, and the broader early medieval world of Gaul and beyond.
