DISC Type : dc

Regional General Manager at Magnicity

Hilversum, North Holland, Netherlands

Overview

Dave is a strategic managing director with over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, specializing in transforming and repositioning businesses. A graduate of Hotelschool The Hague, he has a track record of improving guest experience and financial performance at resorts and attractions before founding his own consultancy, IMPACT Hospitality, in 2024.

He is passionate about his work, so much so that he developed a newfound enthusiasm for theme parks after becoming a director at one. He was not a fan of rides or haunted houses before, but caught the “virus” from his passionate colleagues and now enjoys them.

Unique fact: Before managing a major theme park, he would have never set foot in a haunted house or on a rollercoaster.
