Who I help
I work in three different contexts — but it always comes back to the same thing: helping ambitious people grow what they've built. The Arabic–Dutch bridge is where I start.
You've built something real — but tax, operations, and Dutch subsidies eat the time you should spend growing. Get senior support that understands both the Dutch system and your cultural reality.
How I helpReady to scale, enter MENA, or earn B Corp status — but stretched too thin to run it well. Add fractional executive capacity from someone with lived experience in food innovation and impact entrepreneurship.
How I helpStruggling to design programs that actually reach Arabic-speaking entrepreneurs, returnees, and diaspora? Get a partner — trusted by gemeentes, IOM, RVO, INGOs, and primes across the Netherlands and MENA — who pairs cultural fluency with program-management rigour.

About
I run TK Advisory from Haarlem, helping ambitious SMEs fix operations, tax, growth, and grants. Fourteen years across humanitarian response, UN- and EU-funded programs, and food innovation entrepreneurship taught me how to build in hard places — and how to bridge two business worlds that rarely understand each other.
