ABM Manager · Amsterdam

Make every priority account move as one.

Backbase coordinates customers, employees and AI agents across one frontline. I bring that same operating logic to B2B marketing: account insight, campaigns, sales and follow-up moving together.

What Backbase gets

Marketing that creates account momentum.

The role calls for more than campaigns. It needs someone who can connect priority accounts, regional sales, relevant content, events and measurable follow-up—and keep the work moving.

01

ABM that stays practical

I have led Account-Based Marketing for priority accounts at Aon, coordinating five account managers, two marketers and a business analyst around planning, activation and follow-up.

02

Pipeline as a shared outcome

Across Aon, Guardey and HP Europe, I connected marketing activity to sales priorities, lead generation, funnel progress and clear next-step ownership.

03

Complex story, clear activation

I turn AI, cybersecurity, risk and insurance propositions into useful messaging, content and conversations for decision-makers, sales teams and partners.

A campaign only works when the account moves.

From fragments to coordinated execution

An account control plane for regional growth.

Bring sales insight, buyer behaviour and market context together. Then translate them into the right level of activation: deeply personal where it matters, scalable where it adds reach.
