About Annemarie van Gaal
First and foremost, I am an entrepreneur at heart.

It was an exciting and adventurous time in a country that was in a permanent state of crisis. Every day she had to come up with unconventional solutions to the many challenges she faced.
In 2000 she sold her company and moved back to the Netherlands where she has since set up and led a number of other companies in the media, retail and real estate sectors, among others.
The best opportunities lie off the beaten track. By approaching the market differently, organizing your company differently or working with other revenue models, you can make a success of almost any company.
