About

Innovation is a vision of life. An endless positive energy flow that creates and inspires. It also means going upstream with your head held high. Eyes wide open. Where experience is shared and viewed in a unique way, creativity will prevail. My focus is on building innovation & tech ecosystems to tackle the societal challenges of our time by forming and directing new organisations where multiple private and public stakeholders join forces. I like to get my hands dirty and take entrepreneurial risk. Specialismen: innovation & public value, execution of mission driven moonshots. Specific knowledge: advanced knowledge & skills in strategy, business modeling & governance, building public private partnerships in the Healthcare, Energy, Defence and Maritime sector.
