Boris Burkhardt integrates his field hockey background with entrepreneurship. He captains the Amsterdam first team and founded multiple companies, including an e-commerce brand Game Hero and a boating company. His early entrepreneurial endeavors began with retrieving golf balls from water features. Burkhardt is launching a cybersecurity venture named Guzco, supported by experts in logistics and e-commerce. He attributes leadership skills such as team-building, resilience, and adaptability learned in sports to his business success, emphasizing the importance of recognizing team dynamics.
"That's where I developed a quite entrepreneurial mindset," Burkhardt told Business Insider.
Burkhardt said he hadn't sold any of his companies yet, but he is in the middle of launching a new B2B cybersecurity and fraud prevention business, Guzco.
Professional athletes learn discipline and teamwork from a very young age, Burkhardt said.
You have to know the weaknesses and the strengths of a team and from your teammates," Burkhardt said.
