SURF is the collaborative IT organisation for research and education in the Netherlands. About 130 affiliated institutions work together to fully utilise the opportunities of digitisation to create better and more flexible education and research in the Netherlands.

For SURF I developed a comprehensive portfolio strategy. This strategy aimed to bring order and structure to an extensive array of over 50 products and services. This was a crucial need due to the prior lack of coherence. Our objectives were twofold: first, to create a more unified offering for customers; and second, to make it easier for them to identify and select the right solutions.
Additionally, the strategy was designed to enable SURF to proactively respond to future trends and developments while improving service continuity.

We are currently working on refining the SURF brand positioning to align seamlessly with the portfolio strategy and SURF values.

Saint-Gobain Sekurit is a leading producer of automotive glass. Sekurit is an early innovator and created many technological breakthroughs. I worked with Sekurit to venture into services and new digital business models beyond their existing physical product lineup.

Together we created a strategy for data-driven services. Following this strategy we created a B2B service platform and business model for commercial fleets where services for commercial vehicles are brought on-demand and on-site to minimize downtime of fleets.
