In 1990 he was appointed chief of the newsroom of a regional radio station. During this period he successfully finished various management studies.

While working as an editorial manager he studied marketing and in 1996 he graduated.

between journalism and marketing: the Internet.

In the year 2000 he was appointed editor-in-chief of Soneraplaza, an internet portal for a telecom and internet provider from Finland. This was – of course – shortly before the burst of the Internet bubble.

From 2003 until 2005 he was managing editor of the arts & media department and the opinion & readers department of Algemeen Dagblad.

Late 2005 VNU Media recruited him as a deputy editor-in-chief for their two IT-brands, Computable and CRN. In July 2006 he was appointed editor-in-chief for both brands. From September 2008 until March 2009 he was editor-in-chief at e-business magazine Emerce.

In March 2009 he founded Beishuizen Media Support.

In April 2009 he published his first book about cross media publishing at publishing house Mediata in Amsterdam: Online of flatline (Online or flat line).

In February 2010 VNU Media appointed him editor-in-chief at Intermediair. Since March 2012 he is full time self-employed.
