Born in the Netherlands, Micha developed an early fascination with marketing, visibility, and systems that drive measurable growth. He built his own funnels, tested campaigns, and learned what works by doing. After working for several companies, he saw how slow and outdated recruitment practices held teams back. Instead of accepting it, he built something better. No corporate ladder. No traditional path. Just a clear mission: to fix recruitment with smarter systems. Curiosity and execution became his edge, not credentials or convention.
