Who is Matthijs Braun?
Matthijs (36) is a self-made man. He started his hospitality career at the bottom of the ladder at restaurant Blauw aan de Wal.

He came up with the idea of importing wine when he came into contact with wine producers during his travels, for whom he also makes promotional films.
