Meet The Team
We believe that most companies don’t fail – or fail to grow and reach its potential – because of a lack of ideas, a poor product, innovation or size of market—they fail because they didn’t build a predictable, repeatable and efficient motion around finding and keeping their next customer.
FOUNDER & CEO
Edwin Kooistra
My professional journey is a captivating narrative of global tech acumen. With nearly a decade’s tenure at Ymor in the Netherlands, I embarked on a transformative expedition to Dubai, where I joined Gartner and immersed myself in their dynamic landscape. There, I assumed the pivotal role of advising tech industry CEOs on cutting-edge best practices and actively contributing to their strategic decision-making processes. However, our momentum was abruptly interrupted by the unexpected global pandemic that reverberated through the region, and world.
In response to the disruption, Chasm was born—a specialized entity dedicated to aiding nascent technology providers in effectively navigating the complexities of market entry. Our mission is to empower these innovators to overcome the most formidable challenges, helping them achieve unprecedented growth and market success.

OPERATIONS MANAGER
Pegah Hajimirzakhan
Having studied art, I love to draw and paint. However, my real obsession is being customer focussed. Before joining CHASM my roles in retail and aviation were all focussed on customer service. Now with CHASM this has elevated to Customer Success. As part of my role I ensure the right services are delivered on a timely manner, helping our customers to boost their sales and marketing to grow their business.
GROWTH MARKETER
Manno Notermans
One of the reasons I joined Chasm is because within my work for Think Orion, I saw a lot of companies struggling with their marketing communication. The agency or employees were not doing what they needed to do or did not have the skillset necessary to make it work for them.
Most businesses that shared this with me weren’t working with wrong people but simply lacked segmentation and value messaging and a clear growth strategy.
A growth playbook for emerging technology companies
The key to structured growth and market success is having a clear focus on the target segment where you are best positioned to win. A guide is a useful tool to structure this process.
