Associate

After a long and diverse career in various management and executive roles within the public and private sectors (primarily in energy and higher education), I now advise (international) companies and organizations on strategic policy development, communication management, executive communication, strategy implementation, and organizational development.

Personal

I’ve worked in many places around the world, but Rotterdam remains my home. This is also reflected in my approach: goal-oriented and action-driven. If work is my Yin, then music is my Yang. I’m the lead guitarist in a cover band (classic rock) and love attending concerts. Additionally, I have a well-justified passion for the Burgundy region and its wines.
