Enthusiastic, an inspirer and connector, that is how I would describe myself. My work experience and study have ensured that I can use good technical knowledge to solve social and policy problems. I like to strategically apply my technical analytical knowledge to create social impact. In particular, I focus on developing a stronger, sustainable future! The energy transition is a huge challenge but at the same time an excellent opportunity. When the right parties are brought together, it offers enormous opportunities for society. We can achieve an enormous amount of things by bringing together entrepreneurship, corporates, policymakers and research institutes. The challenge is to bring the right people together at the right time. With my broad knowledge background and network, I work every day to discover possible new equivalences and thus possible solutions to social problems.
