MODERATOR
ANNELIES JANSEN
Mission-Driven Board Member | Media | Commerce | Tech Building From Scratch | Excellent Governance | Global Experience
A hugely ethical, compassionate, and mission driven executive from Dutch origin, Annelies has had extensive international experience, most recently in Silicon Valley. As a seasoned board member as well as an operator, she has a unique talent in her ability to quickly gain an end to end understanding of any business, at any stage, with strong domain experience in media, health and tech.
Annelies’ experience spans from building a digital media business from scratch to exit within 5 years to building Meta’s commerce team from scratch with billions in revenues. She has had leading roles in three exits: SUP (Russia), Telegraaf (Netherlands) and Spring (CA, USA). Contributing to her success is her rare EQ and ability to influence and impact the people and partners around her leading to concrete results.
Through experience on public and private boards Annelies is a strong believer that good governance is key to sustainable growth and long term business success. This was demonstrated through her integrity, experience and sound business judgement in protecting all stakeholders during a hostile takeover of TMG in the Netherlands.
