Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWouter Van Wijk is a results-driven marketing and sales entrepreneur with 13 years of experience blending commercial strategy, account management and trade marketing across retail and non-traditional channels. As founder of WRIST ICONS he curates high-end vintage watches while applying a data-minded approach honed at bol.com and Gottmer to drive sales, promotions and customer experience. He pairs creative marketing instincts with financial discipline, repeatedly translating customer insights into profitable product and partnership initiatives. Technically curious and hands-on, Wouter is also an active full‑stack contributor to open-source projects—creator of the Fiper RSS reader and notable contributions to Pi MusicBox (2k stars)—showing a knack for UX improvements and maintainable tooling. Fluent in cross-functional collaboration, he bridges marketing, product and operations to launch commercially successful campaigns and digital experiences. His unique combo of watch expertise (formal training in valuation) and software-side projects makes him equally at home explaining provenance to collectors or iterating on a user interface.
