International experience
Over the past 10 years, Terpstra has held various commercial management positions at similar Software as a Service (SaaS) organisations. From 2014 to 2018, he focused on international growth as Head of Sales, EMEA and VP of Business Development, North America at inSided.
Product/market fit

"In recent years, Instant Magazine has grown significantly, with a wonderful client portfolio and many companies approaching us proactively. This clearly shows that more and more companies are digitizing their communication assets and exchanging the static PDFs for our fully responsive and interactive platform.

Professional and cultural fit
Daan Reijnders, founder and CEO of Instant Magazine: "We are very happy to have Martijn on board. In his previous positions, Martijn gained a lot of managerial experience and has a good understanding of how to enter new markets. The first thing he did upon starting was to dig into our data, and he’s already made impressive suggestions based on his findings. That quantitative mindset is something we’re excited to have. We want to become the international standard for content marketing software, and I think Martijn will take us there. His professional and cultural fit with the rest of the team has convinced me that he will help us achieve our growth ambitions."
