Maarten

Utrecht, Netherlands

From running a hospitality business to managing technology projects, I enjoy understanding what a business needs and putting it into practice.

Understanding the business.
Connecting the possibilities.

I currently work as a Sales & Operations Project Manager at Studio2 in Utrecht, connecting customers, developers, and business operations.

My background is in running a hospitality business, where taking responsibility means being involved in both the everyday details and the bigger picture. That experience shaped how I work: collaboratively, practically and with people at the center.

Alongside hospitality, I have developed an interest in how technology and sustainability can improve organizations. My studies in business management and sustainable tourism, followed by a software development program, bring these interests together.
