He began his career at SBS in various content-related roles and moved to the public broadcasting sector in 2009, where he led KRO. Following the merger with NCRV in 2014, he played an important role in shaping organizational and cultural change within the Dutch public broadcasting system. In 2017, he became CEO of IDTV (part of All3Media), where he oversaw the development and first production of THE TRAITORS, which has since become a global franchise.
