About Gert-Jan

I help growth-stage companies in digital commerce, mobility, and travel build the commercial
engine that takes them to the next level — as a fractional CCO, interim commercial lead,
or strategy consultant.

With 20+ years of experience building and scaling digital businesses across Europe, I bring
both the strategic clarity and hands-on execution that founders and leadership teams need
when revenue growth is the priority.

I founded and scaled ListNRide into Europe's leading bike rental marketplace — 2,000+
partners, 15+ OEM partnerships, €1.7M raised, and a successful exit in 2023. Before that,
I led commercial organisations at travelaudience (an Amadeus company), mobile.de (Adevinta),
and Marktplaats.nl — running revenue budgets between €10M and €25M and building teams of
up to 15 FTE across multiple European markets.

Since 2024 I run uWonder, my consulting practice, where I work with scale-ups as a
fractional or interim commercial leader. Current and recent mandates include serving as
Chief Commercial Officer at Cyql.app, Strategy Consultant at CyclingHero.cc, and
commercial engagements in the German cycling and e-commerce space.

What I typically help with:
- Commercial strategy and go-to-market design
- Marketplace and SaaS monetisation models
- Revenue organisation builds and sales playbooks
- International expansion across DACH, NL, Nordics, and beyond
- Fundraising preparation and investor-facing commercial narratives
- Digital transformation and product-led growth frameworks

I'm based in Zürich and work hybrid across Europe. I'm fluent in Dutch, English, and German
(C1), with working knowledge of French and Bulgarian.
