With a background in economics, Martijn followed his passion and started his career in videogames working for Dutch agency/production house Green Hill Studios, as Associate Producer. Green Hill offered a unique combination of executive production and business development, securing funding for projects and then overseeing the production until the projects shipped. This eventually led to its acquisition by the largest videogame agency in 2013 – DDM.

Since then, Martijn has been an agent in the videogame industry, focusing exclusively on the business development side. Working for DDM, the largest agency with a global footprint, he has been part of many deals for over a decade – project funding, publishing, distribution and M&A. DDM’s bread and butter is helping find developers funding and publishing deals for their games. In the last few years, they have opened an Investment Services division to help clients with investment and M&A deals.

Martijn is currently helping navigate his clients through these challenging industry times, trying to solve short term issues as well as helping them future proof their business.
