With over 13 years of experience navigating the European IT and cloud landscape, my career has been defined by helping organizations scale their digital transformations while balancing complex regulatory and sovereign requirements. Over the past few years, I had the privilege of leading the Public Sector Sales team for Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the Netherlands. During my tenure there, we focused heavily on cloud sovereignty strategies, scaling our regional go-to-market teams, and closing landmark framework agreements—including an All-of-Government framework. Prior to AWS, I spent nearly 4 years at Microsoft managing strategic National Defence and Justice accounts, where we negotiated major enterprise agreements and laid the foundational architecture for cloud adoption. What drew me to Schwarz Digits is the company’s compelling proposition: delivering true IT sovereignty and digital independence. The Benelux market is at a critical turning point regarding data control and highly regulated cloud adoption, and I am thrilled to build out our regional presence, establish our new office, and drive impactful growth alongside all of you.
