Daan Hittema

Meet Daan, an enthusiastic venture builder and business developer with a passion for realizing innovations and empowering organizations to impact lives positively. With a background in design engineering, Daan's journey led him to focus on strategy, organisation design and business (MSc Strategic Product Design, TU Delft), where he excels at envisioning compelling future stories, crafting strong propositions, and forging meaningful connections and ventures.

Combining his expertise in b2b innovation services, strategic business development, healthcare transformation consultancy, and the start-up scene in the Bay Area (US) and Delft (NL), Daan understands the crucial elements required to seize market opportunities and amplify the impact of innovation development. He firmly believes that genuine impact can only be achieved through collaborative efforts, and adopting a constructive, holistic, and entrepreneurial approach.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Daan enjoys socializing and immersing himself in the dojo, embarking on runs and cycling adventures, or working alongside his father on an oldtimer Volvo. Additionally, he channels his creativity through drawing and enjoys the attempts to brew kombucha.

Daan is eager to make a difference and embrace new challenges that pave the way for a brighter future. Contact him if you have any questions or requests!
