Marc van der Koelen’s journey from the world of athletics to entrepreneurship is a testament to his resilience and adaptability. His early success in athletics, particularly competing in the 1500 meters at two World Championships, laid the foundation for the discipline and focus he later applied in the business world. Although a knee injury abruptly ended his sports career, it became a turning point, leading him to channel his competitive drive into entrepreneurial ventures.

His leadership is characterized by a forward-thinking, strategic approach that prioritizes global reach and high returns. This mindset, coupled with his emphasis on maintaining cash flow and prudent spending for startups, has earned him respect in business circles.
In addition to his role as a business leader, Marc also makes savvy investments in real estate, expanding his portfolio internationally. This diverse approach highlights his multifaceted expertise and commitment to long-term growth in various industries.
