Senior Account Executive
During my studies, I developed a strong interest in the interface between the private and public sectors – and the crucial role that advocacy plays in this regard. In addition, I have always been very interested in social developments, current affairs and (political) communication. In my view, public affairs offers a perfect mix of all these interests; certainly as an advisor at Public Matters you are in the middle of various socially relevant discussions. Previously I worked for an industry association for startup and scaleup companies and did the Traineeship at Public Matters. At Public Matters I now support and advise clients on political and social issues, mainly in the field of tech & sustainability.
Personal
In my spare time I like to hang out with friends and you can often find me in Leiden’s bars and restaurants. I also like to cook at home – sometimes more elaborately than other times. Occasionally I cycle or run (only when the weather is nice, of course), but I am also not averse to an evening on the couch watching Ajax. I also like movies and reading non-fiction and history books.
