From ID&T to Sensation and from the A’DAM Toren to the Westergasfabriek: Duncan Stutterheim is one of the most successful and inspiring Dutch entrepreneurs in the event and real estate industry. He visited Tio Amsterdam to give students an idea of what his life as a leading entrepreneur is like and talk about the highs and lows of his career. Duncan: ‘Being an entrepreneur isn’t always fun. I have lost millions at times. Being an entrepreneur is about taking risks, and sometimes they pay off, sometimes they don’t.’
