Introduction of Michael R. Maljers
In a world increasingly distracted by the many, a silent revolution is brewing among the few who choose to build the future rather than just watch history happen. We are often caught in a cycle of digital habits—mindlessly scrolling through "noise" and irrelevant updates that offer no real professional yield. As researchers like Ben Tiggelaar suggest, breaking such habits requires replacing old behaviors with new, meaningful ones. For the modern professional, this means moving away from platforms that have become mere social media channels and finding a sanctuary that is "European, Discreet, and High-Level".
For Michael Maljers, the founder of Putiton, this vision was forged through a lifetime of movement. A child of the international dredging industry, he moved 38 times by the age of 42, living everywhere from the vibrant coast of Durban, South Africa, to the sunny expanses of Florida. This "rollercoaster" of a life taught him the essential skill of the "verbinder" (connector): the ability to integrate quickly and find genuine interest in others. This American "can-do" mentality eventually found its anchor in Rotterdam, where he reunited with Nancy, the girl who lived next door to his grandmother fifty years ago. Together, they balance 60-hour work weeks with "sacred" Sunday dinners and walks with their dog, Qwiebus, dreaming of a future in the sun where they remain active rather than sitting under a parasol.
Putiton is the culmination of that journey—a platform Michael calls the "Eredivisie of LinkedIn". It is an exclusive business platform designed specifically for the top 1%: the CEOs, entrepreneurs, professional athletes like Logan Paul, and artists who value quality over quantity. In an era where people "Google" you before they ever call, Putiton ensures that what they find is not a fragmented digital trail, but a powerful, curated story.
The platform offers a unique dual approach:
• Put-It-On: A professional "etalage" (showcase) where a user can bundle social media, videos, and podcasts onto one powerful page in their own style.
• Wiki-On: A "mini media brand" that provides a wiki page for knowledge, heavily optimized for SEO so that quality professionals are "launched" to the top of Google searches.
Unlike traditional platforms, Putiton is built on exclusivity and verification. Every profile is checked by moderators to ensure the network remains a space for like-minded peers. Members are granted 1 Terabyte of data, allowing them to share their entire professional history and high-quality media across the world in a single second. While joining is free, the platform offers "unburdening" packages—such as a €5,000 start-up service that includes professional PR and company analysis—for those who prefer to focus on their core business rather than digital management.
With offices already in Rotterdam and Thailand, and plans to expand to Dubai and the United States, Putiton is rapidly growing toward its goal of 30 to 50 million paid profiles. It is a movement for those who are "Linkedout"—those tired of the clutter and ready for a platform that is "Built for the Few, Designed to Be Seen".
As Michael Maljers often says: "Everyone talks about putting it on, so let’s Put It On!".
The transition from traditional social media to Putiton is like moving from a crowded, noisy bazaar to a private, high-tech boardroom: the distractions vanish, leaving only the clarity of meaningful connection.
