I worked as a successful attorney in Amsterdam and New York, before becoming an entrepreneur by setting up my own B2B publishing company Brummsbooks. Thereafter, as co-owner and managing director of IENS, I developed this start-up into the no. 1 user generated content database cross media publisher of restaurant guides in The Netherlands (online and offline). I started a database on Female Internet Heroes and writes about that for the next web blog.
