Senior Consultant

Within Public Matters, I coordinate our tech portfolio. I deal with European and national issues around online security and cybersecurity, digital infrastructure, market power and AI. Because this is a fast-moving world, I proactively advise my clients on policy opportunities, but also on potential risks that may arise in global politics. European politics is leading my work; for the tech sector this where the most defining policy initiatives come from. I try to make a difference by translating this complex world into concrete messages, understandable for every recipient.

Personal

I prefer to spend my free time outdoors in the sun or on the water. With nice weather, you can often find me on my cycling bike, taking a yoga class, trying out a new kitchen or being with friends and family. These last two go well together. But you can also regularly find me in a bookstore or enjoying the rich cultural life Utrecht has to offer.
