About

At 18: I left Belgium for Georgetown University with a student loan. Worked as a barista, exam proctor, and teaching assistant just to get by. At 20: Started a peer-to-peer coaching business for students. It made $290k in 2 months. My first taste of possibility. At 23: After 3 years in Goldman Sachs M&A and paying off my debt, I packed my bags and moved to Singapore -no plan, no network, no safety net- to start Ascend Now. Age 31: → Built 2 multimillion-dollar education companies, Ascend Now and The Edge → The Edge works with 200+ schools worldwide and 3+ Ministries of Education → Supported 13,200 students through tutoring, entrepreneurship & beyond-academics courses → Created meaningful jobs for 168 teachers globally Here’s how I can help: For schools/govs → Build My Edge (https://www.buildmyedge.com/) - Entrepreneurship, SEL curriculum + professional development for teachers. For families → Ascend Now (https://ascendnow.org/) - 1:1 tutoring, college guidance, and personal development programs. I also serve as a board member at Georgetown University, Dukes Education, AIGS and other institutions. If we are just meeting, welcome! I love to connect. write about a mix of things given my ADHD brain, but mainly about education, entrepreneurship and mindset. Hope to see you on the feed 💖
