Diego is a driven, free-spirited individual who has a great affinity and passion for technology and design. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname and has a postgraduate degree in Business from Massey University in New Zealand. This insatiable appetite for knowledge pushes his personal development and professionalism within his areas of expertise. Sharp criticism, accompanied by his witty helpfulness, encourages those within his sphere of influence to grow with him.

This is evident in his deep familiarity with trending issues such as cryptocurrency and climate change. He has not only curated early discussions and consultations in these fields but also participated in the Hack4Climate hackathon in 2017 and together with his teammates, presented at the UN COP23 conference as a top 5 finalist. He continues to assist in organizations such as Junior Chamber International (JCI), being a core member of The Green Ambassador’s project, and behind the scenes in Suriname-based hackathons and conferences. In 2022, he became an alumni of the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI).

As a Creative Explorer with over 10 years of experience in design, highly engaging photography, and visual storytelling, he is extremely passionate about capturing the human element. In 2020, audio caught his attention and birthed the Confoes Podcast, a personal media project, covering entrepreneurship, creativity, personal finance, and self-development. As an On Deck Fellowship alumni, he engages a wide range of guests and feeds a community of self-motivated creatives to reach their highest potential.

Diego is happy to call Suriname home where, more than likely, he can be found brewing a cup of Japanese Sencha.


Dorien Morin-van Dam knows what it's like to build a content engine without a massive budget or staff. In Strategy Talks: Content Strategy for Small Teams, she brings that practical, hands-on perspective to every conversation. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a direct line to operators who are in the trenches, sharing the specific, repeatable plays they use to turn thoughtful content into genuine business pipeline. Designed for founders, small teams, agencies, and solo consultants, each half-hour episode is tightly focused. You'll find discussions rooted in one of three critical areas: the fundamentals of content strategy and planning, the nuts and bolts of distribution and SEO, or the practical application of AI for content operations. The goal is always clarity-first, by defining a common problem many face, and then by unpacking a tangible solution. Listening to this podcast feels like having a seasoned strategist in your corner, cutting through the noise to deliver actionable insights you can apply almost immediately. If you're responsible for content but short on resources, these conversations provide the structured thinking and tactical advice to make your efforts more effective and less chaotic.
