Background

About Fleur Besteman

I’m a spontaneous, open-minded, and compassionate person with an entrepreneurial spirit, driven by a deep appreciation for authenticity, sincerity, and openness. In both my professional and personal life, I thrive on building meaningful connections, understanding the psychology behind decisions, and exploring new perspectives and cultures. These experiences help me expand my worldview and enrich the areas of life I engage with daily. I'm also a strong believer in lifelong learning, since life never stops teaching. Over the years, I’ve developed an expertise in the FinTech space, particularly in payments technology. Being part of a company like Adyen—with its simple but powerful mission to solve real business problems—has been truly inspiring. Listening carefully, understanding challenges, collaborating as a team, and building scalable solutions is at the core of what we do. Positive affirmations that define me: “Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.” “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” “Make way for the unprecedented and watch your reality rearrange itself.” “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”
