  Public Speaker

  As a public speaker I talk about how to handle setbacks and how to take control in difficult situations. I apply the lessons that I have learned from my career as an international hockey player (FC Barcelona), as an incurable cancer patient (who, so far, is still beating the odds) and as a strategist at PwC. My story is about the power of positivity, mental resilience and vulnerability. People often describe me as a high-energy person who fights the hardest battles, yet always has a smile on his face.“When you’re backed against the wall, break the goddamn thing down!” In the past I have spoken at (non-exhaustive list)Google, PwC, Aon, Esade, Universiteit Leiden, Hogeschool van Amsterdam, Moving Stories Barcelona Show less
