The story of

[Tewn-Che]
Nice to meet you! My name is Teuntje and I am the face Behind the Screens. I know. You are now probably wondering, maybe even hesitant to ask, how to pronounce my name correctly? Don't worry, I'm used to it. Let me tell you about how my complicated first name led me to the foundation of ‘Behind the Screens’.
Teuntje is a true tongue-breaker for non-Dutchies and often was I asked: “Could you please help me pronounce your name correctly?” That simple question actually captures something essential: good collaboration across cultures starts with asking instead of assuming.

After working experience in the diverse worlds of tourism, education and marketing, I realised my real expertise is in people's behavior. In how culture shapes every conversation, decision and collaboration. With degrees in Sociology, Consultancy and 20+ years of experience with multicultural teams, I help leaders and teams navigate the realities of succesfull collaboration across cultures.
At Behind the Screens, I translate cultural theory into practical tools that build clarity, trust and performance. Across borders, sectors and ways of working. Because behind every screen, beyond every person, there are some many more layers to discover.
