Ricardo matches a good technical understanding with an interest for marketing and communication and a passion for education and customer service. 

When young(er) he played with Lego’s, founded newspapers, created a (now sold) startup and was into politics.

Now Ricardo is the founder and CEO of ColorElephant - a company providing services and products in the areas of digital marketing and customer service and the Movement For Change in Education, with which he hopes to impact how kids in Western Countries will be education.

An early supporter of a startup ecosystem in Europe, Ricardo was the founder and producer of SWITCH Conference - which WIRED called one of the top tech events in Europe. Over the years Ricardo worked with companies such as Microsoft, BMW, Sofitel, Wooga, Evernote and others. His work and speaking endeavours got him quoted and featured on international publications such as The Economist, France 24, TV Tokyo and many more. 

Ricardo loves the people in his life, meeting new people, travelling and figuring out solutions for otherwise unsolvable problems.
