About Sanne

I’m a tech and media executive with a strong track record at leading tech firms Spotify, Google and Booking.com. I’ve held management positions where I’ve built and grown teams to accelerate growth.
I have a passion for driving and accelerating revenue and am excited to spot and monetize business opportunities. In 2018, I started consulting full-time and coached various startups and scale-ups on their business challenges.

I love being a sparring partner for management teams and boards to empower their entrepreneurial skills and to identify opportunities. With the theories and knowledge I acquired at INSEAD Business School combined with the startup tools and frameworks I know how to steer teams in the right direction. I’d like to combine outlining a strategy with operational excellence, and with my experience at leading and stock-listed tech tech companies, makes me a very good fit for a non-executive role.

I am a unique, positive entrepreneur who is analytical, a fast thinker and very focused on results. My data-driven approach brings clarity in discussions and strategy. My curiosity and perseverance to understand how companies and people work, has been key in finding solutions.
Specialisms: business development, commercial strategy, sales and marketing.
