My Plant-Based Journey...
Plant-Based Chef, Instructor and Project Manager
As an avid-trail-runner, I started 18 years ago to explore plant-based eating for active people. While running a cooking studio in Haarlem (NL), I wrote more than 12 cookbooks on plant-based cuisine and explored the emerging vegan scene in The Netherlands, France, California, Croatia and Spain.
I worked as the Executive Chef & Project Manager to launch Yi Athens Raw Vegan Café in Greece, MK Culinary Academy in Thailand and TOM's Juice Bar in St Barth and as a consultant for Apollo Group to develop the plant-based cuisine on board the Oceania and Regent cruise lines, as a Wellness Chef for the Mindul Eating Program on Explora Journeys.
I keep promoting Plant Strong Lifestyle for Active People and Plant-Based as a NEW Speciality Cuisine.
From Games to Project Management
Developing, Fixing & Training
I started learning english by hacking and developing games. I quickly ended-up working in my twenties as a software developer and a database architect. Thanks to the internet wave on Europe, I became a project manager to later specialized in game design.
I obtained a Master of Science degree, in Mathematics and Computer Science, with a specialization in Project Management (université de La Rochelle, France). My Master's Thesis was on Agile Methods for Game Development and Production.
I taught game production, agile methods and creativity as a guest lecturer for 10 years in France (at the Master of Video Games), the Netherlands (at the Utrecht School of Arts) and Singapore (at Ngee Ann Polytechnics, Bachelor of Arts in Game Development).
For the past 25 years, I worked as a consultant / project manager, applying agile methods for web development, game design and digital production. Still curious? find my atypical life journey
