"In 2045, my equity portfolio of companies has a combined valuation of 100m+."
How?
By doing one, and one thing only:
"Showing entrepreneurs a shorter, more profitable and more appealing way towards their growth goals."
And once they see, feel and experience the impact he makes, they happily have Chris step in as an equity partner.
As the Extreme Growth Architect, he helps them build the empire they deeply desire.
The history of Chris - Seeing what everybody else was missing
In 2011, at 25 years old, Chris worked for Motion Global in Shanghai China. An online retailer selling all forms of eyewear.
Without any experience he was able to grow one of the most challenging markets with over 40%, while cutting costs with over 30%.
Within 3 months after starting.
He was taking a different approach.
He saw hidden growth opportunities others were missing.
This has been the silver lining for the rest of his career.
Transitioning to entrepreneurship - The first acquisition and first failed venture
In 2013, Chris made a bold move. After working for only one year KPMG, he decided to quit his job to become an entrepreneur.
His first business was an IP acquisition of a concept that previously failed but which we thought could re-ignite.
Together with 2 business partners he acquired the IP and started building.
Only learning that after a year of building, nobody wanted this solution.
Starting the first Growth Hacking Agency in The Netherlands
Luckily, during that first year of entrepreneurship, Chris came in contact with the Growth Hacking pioneers from Silicon Valley.
He decisively started the first Growth Hacking Agency of The Netherlands.
With little experience, but with a bold determination to make this business work.
He became part of the management of the agency group, and help to grow the team from 10 to 85 people in 5 years.
The agency under his leadership caught the attention of many others and got much recognition:
Multiple times awarded as top 10 global growth hacking agency.
2018: Golden Dutch Interactive award E-commerce
2019: Golden Dutch Interactive award Branding
2019: Number 1 agency according to Fonk 50
2019: Ranked Top 2 Digital Marketing Agency in The Netherlands (Emerce 100)
2020: Ranked number 1 Digital Marketing Agency in The Netherlands (Emerce 100)
In a couple of years, Chris build one of the top agencies delivering growth.
International Keynote Speaker - Evangilizing growth around the world
One of the drivers of this success was the thought leadership that Chris developed on the implementation of Growth Hacking.
After working with startups, scale-ups, and corporates, Chris knew the exact nuances necessary for success.
He spoke around the world, giving keynotes at the most prestigious conferences.
Over 100+ conferences and in more than 15 countries invited Chris to share his knowledge and inspire teams.
Agency Exit in 2020
After growing his agency to a multiple 7-Figure agency, he decided to sell his shares to his co-founders in the summer of 2020.
His ambitions weren't in line anymore with setup of his business, and he decided to sell this shares.
After 6 years ofter starting an agency and growing it to multiple 7 figures, he had learned what he needed to learn and it was time to move on.
Business Schools wanted to learn from Chris
Chris, his success in implementing growth within companies, also made him a go-to lecturer for innovative business schools.
Like Nyenrode, TIAS University, and Beeckestijn Business School.
At Beeckestijn Chris was recognized as a top 10 lecturer in 2020.
Book Deal Structuring for Extreme Revenue Growth and Best Seller

This book become the #1 best-selling book English book on managementboek.nl.
Chris was also part of the author group which published the worldwide best-seller Growth Hacking Book 2.
Investing and Business Coaching
In the years that followed, Chris was asked by a wide range of entrepreneurs to coach them with their growth.
He invested in companies like Triggre and became more and more the Architect of Extreme Growth.
Especially agency owners who wanted the same growth trajectory Chris had already experienced, reached out to Chris.
In these years he worked with all the top agencies from The Benelux.
2023 Moving to Spain
In his personal life, Chris was married and had two kids, growing up in the suburbs around Amsterdam.
But adventure called again, and in 2023, Chris and his wife decided to move permanently to Spain.

Maja Voje
Best-Selling Author GTM Strategist
Chris offers practical frameworks on how to stay laser-focused on things that bring value to the business. It personally encouraged me to create more modular assets such as online courses, checklists, and innovative teaching formats to see a more predictable and sustainable revenue stream unlike in consulting business. I would warmly recommend it to business consultants, to experienced professionals and entrepreneurs, since the book offers strategic frameworks to elevate growth models and is, to my knowledge, the first growth book that focuses on strategic and entrepreneurial aspects of implementing and sustaining a growth program in the company.”
