👋 Hi there!
I’m An, an entrepreneur and CEO.
With over 20 years of experience in gamification, serious game design, leadership, and change management, I’ve been transforming businesses big and small. As the chief game changer at Gamification Nation, Playerence.com, and MyDigitalOffice.io, I bring a unique blend of fun and expertise to every project. Whether you know me from my talks, podcasts, blogs, books, or TV appearances, I’m here to make work more engaging and productive. Let’s create some magic together! ✨
The future of work is human, augmented by game-like technology. I’m driven to impact businesses, employees, and their clients by creating gamified and game-like rewarding experiences that help them build confidence, a sense of belonging, and achievement to ultimately help them level up.

Things I like to speak or write about:
Entrepreneurship, leadership and business
Being the CEO of your own company and leading teams, in my case remotely since 2012, is a challenge as well as a rewarding experience both at the same time. I will share you my insights and the authentic warts and all from my perspective. Some team members may agree some may not, either way this is my view.
Gamification and game design
If you followed me for some time, then you know also that gamification and making games for the corporate sector has been my main occupation since starting Gamification Nation. Hence it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this is one of my main topics of interest especially as I see it continuing to influence us more and more.
Innovation, technology and other nerdy stuff
I have an inquisitive mind and always explore new technologies and things that make my life better, smoother and more productive. When it comes to work related technology I have been trying lots of things and will tell you my views on the pro’s and cons of them. I believe in technology for good but I also see how we can be easily lulled into false dark alleys.
