Born near her favourite city, Rotterdam, and raised in Roermond – a town known for its intricate network of waterways – Manuëlle developed a deep connection to the sea from an early age.
Growing up in a country where 25% of the land lies below sea level naturally fostered her affinity for water and all that surrounds it.
With a background in international sales in the textile industry, Manuëlle has travelled extensively and gained a strong appreciation for different cultures and languages. Her passion for communication extends into her personal life, where she teaches Dutch in the evenings and enjoys sharing her native language with others.
In addition to her global business experience, she has spent many years working as a mystery shopper in sectors such as the automotive and luxury watch industries. This has shaped her keen eye for detail and sharpened her customer service expertise – qualities that continue to define her professional approach today.
