Senior Account Executive
Politics has many written and unwritten rules. As an advisor to various members of parliament, I have seen from the inside how the engine room of politics is operated. Together with my experience in coordinating political campaigns for the VVD, working in a journalistic environment and my study background in political science and journalism, I can formulate an effective and clear strategy and message for organisations and companies.
Personal
Besides my work as a Senior Account Executive, I am active in the city council of Edam-Volendam, as a member of the VVD party. I am also the lead singer of a 60’s/70’s/80’s cover band (Queen, Beatles, Toto etc.). Finally, I really enjoy making the occasional trip to a faraway country.
