My talent

I strongly involve an empathetic and human-oriented perspective on issues that organizations face, so that we create sustainable solutions for people and the environment.

I provide grip and clarity in complex challenges by simplifying and visualizing.

People and organizations that inspire me

Organisations and entrepreneurs who develop new and creative products and services that make a positive contribution to our world. Organisations that take responsibility and are not afraid to do things differently, for instance well-known names such as Fairphone, Equalture, Peerby, LENA Library, Vinted, Tony’s Chocoloney or larger companies that can make a significant (sustainable) impact, such as IKEA or Triodos Bank.

What I like to do in my spare time

In my spare time you can find me painting or with a camera in hand, and besides exploring creativity I also love to cycle, run, swim, read and spend time with family and friends.
