Born as Ronald Hans, Dutch entrepreneur Nalden co-founded WeTransfer when he was just 25 years-old. He first came to prominence with his pioneering blog, Nalden.net, which he started as a teenager. Experimenting with non-intrusive, ‘wallpaper’ advertising formats for the likes of Nike and Mercedes Benz, Nalden’s blog soon turned a profit. This experience proved highly valuable when Nalden teamed up with Bas Beerens and Rinke Visser to create the file transferring service for which he is now best-known and which has some 40 million users. In addition to WeTransfer, Nalden is co-founder of design studio Present Plus and is a regular speaker on entrepreneurship, technology, design and education.
