team philosophy
Working for CatSwoppr means working for cats and cat people. Giving back to feline companions and feline lovers is our way of adding value to this planet. In the same way, we strive to provide our team members a lot of soft value. Having a track record of achieved goals is often a must-have for further growth in startups and scale-ups. Starters fresh from a university may not always get the chance or be able to show what they have in store. At CatSwoppr we mentor young culturally diverse starting professionals with various and different skillsets. We give them that unique chance to build this track record of measurable output.
Our team members have the freedom to move around the building blocks of the cat-centered services we aim to develop. They can choose which of their skills they like to sharpen, whether it is on designing and executing a Go-To-Community strategy, defining revenue models on the business development side, or fiddling with tech on the back-end to get databases straight and running smoothly.

Content Creator
Born and raised in a quiet English village, Charlie has always been surrounded by animals—his cats, Moses and Joseph, and his dog, Marley. In 2020, he moved to the Netherlands, where he now studies at the University of Amsterdam.
He recently completed his Bachelor's in Philosophy and Politics and is now pursuing a Master’s in Communication Science.
Charlie joined CatSwoppr because it was the perfect mix of his two passions—cats and writing. He loves the creative freedom, the positive work environment, and the nonprofit’s mission to help both people and cats.
His love for cats started when he came home from school one day to find two kittens waiting for him. Moses quickly became his best buddy, following him everywhere.
A fun fact about Charlie? He has a green thumb! His room is full of plants, and he loves watching them grow.
At CatSwoppr, he enjoys working with a kind and creative team. He’s excited to bring more great content and projects to the cat-loving community in 2025!

She’s creative at heart (and not afraid of a tattoo needle — she’s given herself six!). What she loves most about the team is the kindness, shared passion, and supportive vibe that makes working together feel meaningful and fun.
