  • Description

    Hi! My name is Jesaja, and I’m embarking on a new chapter in life after spending over 20 years in the hospitality and wine trade. My career has given me invaluable experience in connecting with people, understanding their needs, and working in vibrant, fast-paced environments. However, I’ve recently decided to take a step back, reflect, and explore a life with deeper meaning and fulfillment.

    After living in Amsterdam for many years, I made the bold decision to sell everything and begin a journey with no strings attached. I’m ready to embrace new experiences, meet inspiring people, and discover what more the world has to offer.

    What I’m Looking For
    I’m seeking opportunities that allow me to be active, connect with people, and contribute in meaningful ways. Whether it’s helping on a farm, working on community projects, or supporting eco-tourism initiatives, I’m eager to get involved. I’m especially drawn to roles where I can immerse myself in nature, learn new skills, and make a positive impact on the world around me.

    A Bit About Me
    • Active and Outdoorsy: I love hiking, exploring new landscapes, and staying active. Nature has always been a source of inspiration and joy for me.
    • Social and Outgoing: Meeting new people and learning about their cultures and stories is one of my favorite things. I thrive in environments where I can connect and collaborate with others.
    • Curious and Open-Minded: I’m ready to step outside my comfort zone and embrace whatever comes my way. This journey is all about growth and discovery for me.
    • Experienced and Reliable: Years in hospitality have taught me the importance of hard work, adaptability, and teamwork. I bring a strong work ethic and a positive attitude to every situation.

    Why I’m Doing This
    Life in the wine and hospitality world has been rewarding, but I feel a deep desire to explore paths that align more closely with my values and passions. This adventure is about finding purpose, contributing to something bigger, and learning new ways of living that resonate with me on a deeper level.

    If you think I could be a good fit for your project or community, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create something meaningful together!

  • More details about your skills

    With over two decades of experience in hospitality and the wine trade, I bring a wealth of diverse skills and expertise to the table. In the world of high-end gastronomy, I’ve held various roles in Michelin-starred restaurants and premium hotels, honing my ability to deliver excellence in fast-paced, detail-oriented environments. I also managed large restaurant groups, showcasing my leadership and operational skills.

    Transitioning into the wine trade, I spent 10 years as a Business Development Manager and Head of Purchase, driving growth and forging strong partnerships. Additionally, I led projects as Product Owner for the development of a webshop and served as Head of Marketing, where I built strategies to enhance brand presence and customer engagement.

    This diverse background has equipped me with a unique blend of strategic thinking, creativity, and a commitment to delivering results. I’m now excited to explore new opportunities where I can apply these skills in meaningful ways.
