Contentful

Contentful is an API-first content platform that allows companies to manage and deliver their content. I joined in the early stages and saw the company grow from 20 to 250 people, working on various parts of the product and helped scale and streamline the design function.

In the past 10+ years...

I’ve worked on a range of products from B2B to B2C,  with teams from 4 to 250+ people, and companies that operate in various industries and at different stages of the startup-lifecycle.

I'm proud to have worked with companies that are backed by some of Europe’s most influential VCs, including Cherry Ventures, Atlantic Labs, Point Nine Capital and more.

On this website you can see examples of the impact I had at some of these companies. Think of them as a starting point for a conversation to determine whether we should work together. Interested? Read more about what services I offer or contact me.
