2014 – 2018

Iron Mountain & enterprise B2B — Marketing transformation leadership

"Instrumental in transforming the marketing function at Iron Mountain into a data-driven and revenue-focused function that created measurable added value" — Nick Porter, now CCO at LRQA. Awarded Most Engaged Marketer Belgium 2015.

1999 – 2014

Accenture · EY · Deutsche Telekom · Mollie-era fintech & B2B brands

Strategy consulting foundations at Accenture and EY, then enterprise-scale B2B marketing at Deutsche Telekom — plus client-side and fractional work across financial services (Degroof Petercam), logistics and industrial B2B. The pattern that became RUTTENS+: great teams, no repeatable engine.
