Jurjen Rolf’s Summary

Ideas for new products or services are abundant in companies, but getting them to market is an art and science in itself.
I use my creativity to "package" interesting ideas into an understandable product proposition, and my industry knowledge to make sure we make money from them as well.

After 7 years experience in consumer electronics- and service industries, I have initiated a new startup that introduces revolutionary "Fashion for Electronics".
Hope to get all of you and your inspiring ideas on board of this new entrepreneurial journey !
