Meet the team

Young, fun, a little crazy and ambitious. That's us. Every day we create our dream together and every Friday we throw a party.
Because with an average age of 28 years, the energy flows through our veins!

Join YoungOnes

Pim Graafmans

Pim Graafmans

Managing Director

The instigator of the whole thing. No YoungOnes without Pim. And no hard style fans either, because he comes from that era. Besides his annual festival at Decibel, he enjoys craft beers and travelling with his family. One day he hopes to be as good as Roger Federer, but we don’t all stay Young forever.

Koen Graafmans

Koen Graafmans

CTO

Next to Pim is Koen. Not only at hard style festival Decibel, but also on the family tree, both private (check that last name) and at YoungOnes. We mainly know Koen as ‘oh something technical, Koen is the one who can fix it’. Could his addiction to gadgets and tech have something to do with it?

Margot Roubos

Margot Roubos

Commercial Director

You can’t have three musketeers without Margot. Between Pim and Koen, her commercial eye leads YoungOnes. And sets the bar high. Not only on the work floor, but also on the dance floor.When we see her arrive to the office wearing one of her trendy hats and cool outfits, we don’t know whether we’re at Coachella or at the office.

Lotte de Wijs

Lotte de Wijs

Head of Operations UK

Lotte knows the ropes after 3 years working for YoungOnes NL, so she decided to copy everything and take it across the river. That’s Lotte. But after her first expansion, YoungOnes UK couldn’t get rid of her. Does she really like it there as much as it seems, or is she just afraid to go back across the large open water? Because yes, suppose you encounter sharks…her biggest fear.

Romée Hopmans

Romée Hopmans

Freelance Success Manager UK

Participating in ”Expedition Robinson” (a Dutch reality show) is at the top of Romée’s bucket list. We secretly doubt whether she can do without her beautiful things, and whether they have vegetarian burgers there. We secretly hope for this, as we just don’t want to miss out on her critical eye and structure at work.

Sol Gil Morales

Sol Gil Morales

Marketing and Operations Lead UK

With her Spanish roots, passion for travel and a trip to the vineyards of Argentina at the top of the bucket list, we wonder how Sol ended up in cold Netherlands. Is it love for her boyfriend, her two dogs, or for YoungOnes? At least for us, she is the sunshine in the house!

Anna-Lydia Ropponen

Anna-Lydia Ropponen

Customer Success Manager UK

Anna-Lydia arrived to The Netherlands unsure about two things: cats and the Dutch language. Yet, she traded Finland for YoungOnes’s home country for love, and is now a cat-mom of Azula and Salem. People change. At the office, she tells us a lot of stories about her -30 degree skiing days back home. We are not jealous.

Johan de Jager

Johan de Jager

Country Manager UK

Johan is truly such a boss. Not only for YoungOnes UK, but because he says Leonardo di Caprio is his look-a-like celeb. However, he is still waiting for an Oscar. We would personally give him one for all his knowledge as a sommelier, which benefits us on Friday afternoon drinks!

Joshua Fatukasi

Joshua Fatukasi

Business Development Manager UK

Josh likes to dive in the deep end: skydiving is at the top of his bucket list, and he loves learning new things. We understand that he can be found on TikTok every day: but how good is he at performing those dance routines?

Manpreet Minhas

Manpreet Minhas

Business Development Manager UK

Diving at night is not a very big achievement, according to Manny, but if you ask us, many would not be as brave. He likes to travel but also continue his dives into books about space and AI. If you are interested, he can talk about it for hours!

Carly Saliba

Carly Saliba

Customer Success Manager UK

‘It’s raining cats and dogs’, Carly must have thought when she exchanged sunny Australia for rainy London. Still, as a proud cat mom, she won’t mind. Her salary often goes towards unnecessary cat supplies for the home. And her motherland? She hasn’t quite forgotten that yet. On her bucket list you can find her wish to tour the Down Under, while enjoying bad musical hits.

Rosalie de Beer

Rosalie de Beer

Online Marketing Manager

Watch out! Rosalie has a superpower: to subconsciously persuade you to do things she had in mind for you. That’s her job, but if we were Rosalie we would take this a bit further: her big dream is to make a camper trip through New Zealand. You might find yourself arranging that trip for her!

Kabolin Yiu

Kabolin Yiu

Digital Marketer

For Kabolin, the world consists of cookies and (mega)bites, staying on topic of course. When she’s not tinkering with the YoungOnes website, she’s spending her salary on food. Although she seems down to earth, she will love nothing more than a pyjama party with infinite midnight snacks.
