ABOUT

Meet Michiel & Ine

Hey, we are Michiel and Ine from Belgium. We currently reside in Vancouver, Canada to pursue our dreams.

Michiel is a skilled business development manager with a strong affinity for consumer insights & product marketing. Ine holds a PhD in Biomechanics. Together, we boast a broad network in the world
of athletics.

We founded this agency because we feel athletes don't always get the opportunity they deserve and want to help them change that with partners like you.

 

We believe the right authentic partnerships create meaningful opportunities for both parties and would love to explore these with you and our athletes.

Testimonials

TESTIMONIALS

At this point in my career, I wasn’t looking to be just another name on an agency’s roster. I was looking for a true partnership. Stride felt different right away. From day one, it’s felt like a collaboration, not a transaction.

 

With training, racing, and family, time is everything. Having Stride in my corner to handle the details and bring opportunities that genuinely align with who I am and where I’m going allows me to stay focused on what matters most.
