A firm believer of value creation and innovation for the international hospitality industry, Hans founded HotelsAhead in 2003, an Amsterdam-based consultancy that develops new hotel concepts and business models.
Hans is the initial creator and a former founding partner of the award-winning citizenM hotel concept. As COO, he was responsible for concept, creativity, design and development for this new international hotel chain.
Before Zoku and HotelsAhead, Hans worked for large international hotel chains like NH Hoteles and Golden Tulip Hotels, Inns and Resorts. He has held senior corporate positions in Operations and Development, where he was responsible for projects throughout Europe, Africa, The Middle-East and Central America.
