Senior Consultant

As a Senior Consultant at Public Matters, I advise clients at the intersection of politics, media and social impact. I firmly believe that facilitating an open and mutual relationship between politics, government, the media and society is essential for building the Netherlands of the future. At Public Matters, I help clients to strategically position themselves and navigate effectively through an environment of complex administrative and political processes.

With a background in advocacy for organisations in industry and the pensions sector, the renewable energy industry and, among others, a trade association for the energy transition, I have broad experience in public affairs and advocacy.

Personal

I live in Utrecht with my partner and children. In my spare time, I enjoy meeting up with friends and love going out for a good meal, reading, politics, board games and sports such as MMA and sailing.
