BIO

Marijn is an experienced business strategist with a background in sales and marketing. Her focus is on fast-changing, or soon to be disrupted, industries. After completing her masters degree at Rotterdam Erasmus University, Marijn spent 10 years abroad in Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, USA and UK. She worked on business model innovation for multinationals like IBM, Vodafone and Toyota, startups in the tech industry. Marijn holds post graduate certificates from MIT (IoT Business Case) and Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. She is author of the book “Marketing to China’s Netizens”.

In 2009, Marijn started her own practice FluidNations for leaders in business innovation. She helps organisations, to unlock new market opportunities, develop value propositions and build business cases. For bs;bp Marijn is focused on representing the long-term client perspective. She signals trends that shift design expectations, like 15-minute city, circular by-design, hybrid work and community-based shared amenities.

“The future belongs to groups who are fluid, fast and nonlineair ”

           – Robert Greene

 

WHAT’s the future of community space?

Community space (as-a-service) will address the growing demand for ‘work, learn and relax’ activities in closer proximity. Without the commute, without the loss of time. Such mixed-use developments help make the business case for shared amenities with a hospitality-like service. When we make it easier for people to share space and facilities the individual user carbon footprint is reduced. 

WHAT makes you proud?

Seeing the value in the things I do in everyday life.
