I’m Marieke Verkoelen, founder of LAMARIQUE and with over 20 years of experience in international marketing, digital media, and e-commerce, i’ve built my career around helping brands grow across borders. I’ve always been fascinated by how business, culture, and communication intersect — which led me to live and work in multiple countries across Europe and the US, and speak six languages fluently. That global mindset is what drives me.
My true passion lies in international business — understanding the nuances of each market, building bridges between cultures, and helping companies succeed in unfamiliar territory. That’s why I started this company: to do what I love, every day, and together with my team support others in doing the same.
Outside of work, I find balance through Ashtanga yoga, dive deep into Jungian psychology, and embrace the adventure of motherhood — all of which shape the way I lead, collaborate, and connect.
