20+ years in Spanish finance
Entrepreneur, not advisor
I didn't learn cross-border business in a classroom. I learned it by doing it — 20 years, 5 languages, and more border crossings than I can count.
I'm an autodidact entrepreneur who's built, moved, and scaled businesses across the EU. When I talk taxes, real estate, or relocation strategy, it's because I've lived every one of those decisions myself.
"If you're an entrepreneur thinking about Spain, we should talk. I speak your language — literally (🇳🇱🇬🇧🇪🇸🇫🇷🇩🇪) and figuratively."
Today I run Polder to Playa — a cross-border advisory practice for entrepreneurs and expats moving to Spain. Tax optimization, property acquisition, business setup. No jargon, no ivory tower advice. Just practical strategy from someone who's walked the same path.
My clients are entrepreneurs and expats navigating the move to Spain — people who've built things, run companies, made real decisions. They don't want theory. They want someone who's been in the room.
That's me.
