Marco is a true international citizen. Originally from the Netherlands, his fascination with global work and culture has led him to work in over 70 countries. Realizing that international workers needed to be better equipped with intercultural intelligence led him to start KnowledgeWorkx in 2001.
As International Director of KnowledgeWorkx, Marco created the Inter-Cultural Intelligence (ICI) methodology for people development. In a world that needs more human connection, he is passionate about equipping people and organizations with the tools they need to enhance relational success with people around them.
Marco brings 28 years of intercultural work experience into everything he does – as a skilled facilitator and coach, he uses the KnowledgeWorkx ICI methodology to equip people with intercultural agility, giving them the best chance of not only succeeding, but thriving in our increasingly global world.
By volunteering for not-for-profit organizations, he assists with the development of intercultural agility for their organizations and people.
Marco lives with his family in the UAE. He is interculturally married and has the privilege of raising four ‘Third Culture Kids’.
