Owen Delarue

Partner Strategic Consultant Benelux @ PLAYTOMIC

About

I help sports clubs and facilities across the Benelux unlock their full potential by combining strategy, data, and technology. At Playtomic — Europe’s largest racket sports community — I work with partners to increase occupancy, optimize operations, and create new revenue streams. My focus: building sustainable partnerships where clubs, coaches, and players all win. Whether it’s boosting visibility, streamlining bookings, or scaling engagement, I translate business goals into practical growth strategies. 🚀 What drives me: turning untapped court hours into thriving communities, making sport more accessible, and helping partners grow faster than they thought possible. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about the future of sports, digital transformation in recreation, or building win-win partnerships.
