Johan brings over 30 years of experience in sales, marketing, operations and people management. After graduating with a Master’s degree in Translation (Minor in Marketing/Business Management) and a University Degree in Media & Information Sciences, Johan took on key roles in Sales and Marketing.

He was tasked with turning around European Sales & Marketing activities for a Japanese company, where he extensively applied one of his favorite skills: languages. Johan then spent several years in the communication industry, perfecting his operational and people management skills while leading international teams. 

An entrepreneur at heart, Johan co-founded a successful narrowcasting company alongside two partners, building innovative in-house technology solutions and serving renowned clients. After selling his business, he joined a leading digital agency as Large Account Director, where he became a digital native and played a key role in a successful merger for the largest group of independent electrical home appliance businesses.

Driven by his passion for connecting people and opportunities, Johan transitioned into recruitment as a Direct Search Specialist. His common-sense realism and intuitive problem-solving make him a valuable partner for clients: “If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.” 

Happily married and proud father of two young adults, Johan enjoys the culinary joys of life and stays active in the gym.
