About Jacob Knippenberg

I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up in the U.S. before choosing to move to France and the U.K. Growing up, I realized I was living in a bubble, and I wanted to force myself outside my comfort zone and truly see the world.Living abroad taught me there\'s always more to learn: how different cultures tackle the same problems and how familiar challenges can look completely different in a new context. I\'ve carried that mindset into my career and proven myself as a high performer. I embrace new technologies (like dynamic arrays and agentic workflows), automate anything repetitive (I loathe doing the same thing twice), and constantly seek ways to grow and deliver more. For me, ambition isn\'t just about personal achievement: it\'s about learning, adapting, and bringing fresh ideas to the table.If you’re reading this that means you clicked \"see more\".Let’s find a time to chat – I’m always excited to meet new people and expand my network.All the best,Jacob
