About
Go States

Your business boots on the ground

Based on the East coast, just an hour away from New York City, ‘Go States’ guides you through the complexities of the U.S. Market. From its vast size to cultural differences and unique business practices, expanding to the U.S. can feel overwhelming. With a physical presence on the ground, ‘Go States’ is ready to assist – whether you need help with building a business plan, marketing or sales efforts. 

Who Am I? I enable entrepreneurs to expand or start in the U.S. 

In late ’22, my family and I relocated from the Netherlands to New Jersey, just an hour away from New York City. 

Since arriving, I’ve been fascinated by the trends, opportunities, and differences between Europe and the U.S.

I combine both hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge, a trait that has shaped my entire professional career. My practical background in Hotel Management, along with a Master’s degree in Marketing, has molded this approach.

When I start a project, I’m focused on creating a solid plan, but I also understand the importance of flexibility when doing business in the U.S. This balance allows me to adapt quickly while keeping the bigger picture in mind, ensuring long-term success. 

In 2023 I launched Go States LLC to assist European companies in marketing and selling their products in the U.S.

Her extensive knowledge is impressive, and it’s great to see her apply it so effectively to her work for us. We look forward to continue working together.

    I've great experiences working with Dorien. Having someone in the USA who is accessible and helps to grow our business is invaluable. She communicates clearly and understands the American market. As a true people person, she effortlessly connects with our distributors and key clients and builds strong, personal relationships.

    We strategically decided to strengthen our presence in the US market. During our search for assistance, we connected with Dorien on LinkedIn. From our 1st meeting, it was clear she would be a valuable asset. She arrived well-prepared with insightful questions, a touch of humor, and great energy. To this day, she consistently contributes new ideas and valuable enhancements to our projects.
