A stage.
An encounter.
Something that stays.

From red carpet to a full room. I connect people, give a message a voice and bring the work behind the scenes together.

Where people come together,
a story comes alive.
Your story deserves space

More than a full room.
A room that feels something.

A keynote that resonates. An encounter that opens doors. A project that moves from vision to implementation. At AYA, we begin with the meaning of your moment — and give it shape through people, substance and a clear plan.

This is where my work lives

Among people.

Project management and implementation

You can also engage me to coordinate an agreed project in practice: planning, task allocation, stakeholder communications and follow-up. I work in professional football and international projects, among other fields. This is an implementation assignment with clear responsibilities, separate from an advisory conversation.

Hosting, VIP guests and delegations

As a host, I provide a warm, professional welcome. This can include coordination before arrival, welcoming and guiding guests during the event, and agreed follow-up. You can book me separately for this role. Africa Fashion Week Amsterdam books me as a motivational speaker and business strategist for its events.

Speaking, presenting and language support

Motivational speaking, opening an event or facilitating conversations: we tailor the content to your audience. Translation and interpreting support during events is also available on request. We confirm languages, subject, preparation and the expertise required in advance. Presenting, hosting and interpreting are separate services.

Investment & proposal

The starting price applies to a tailored assignment, not automatically to an entire event. Your proposal specifies the chosen role, preparation, hours or days, tasks and any travel or external costs. This makes clear what is included and who is responsible for what.
