Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands
I am a senior legal and business professional with a corporate, energy and financial law background and more than two decades of experience operating at the intersection of complex projects, regulated assets and capital-intensive investments. My focus has expanded beyond traditional legal leadership into project development and strategic governance for large‑scale energy transition initiatives (CCS, H2). These projects typically involve multi‑party joint ventures, public stakeholders, long‑cycle assets and significant regulatory exposure. I am result driven and I enjoy getting transactions and projects over the line, managing risk, and enabling management teams to move forward with confidence. My role is not limited to legal advice, but extends to acting as a trusted business partner to boards, executives and investors, balancing commercial opportunity with enterprise‑level risk. As a strong networker I am effective in connecting stakeholders, counterparties and competing interests, particularly in multi‑disciplinary settings where commercial, technical, regulatory and financial perspectives must be aligned.
