I come from Meijel, which is located in the Peel. This area was once a vast swamp with meters-thick layers of peat. Over time, humans have reclaimed much of these peat areas and used them as an energy source. As a result, hardly any nature reserves remained. Eventually, peat extraction became outdated and was ultimately banned. This phase of the energy transition is behind us. We are now engaged in the next phase: the transition to fully sustainable energy sources. This creates opportunities for nature restoration, for example of the remaining peat areas of the Peel around Meijel. In my free time, I contribute to this as a board member of Stichting VEEN. This foundation manages lands around the nature reserves with the aim of further expanding them. Seeing my environment change positively gives me energy. Just like my daily work!

Expertise: experienced professional with 23 years of experience in developing, tendering, implementing and managing complex sustainable energy projects. Systematic, innovative, thorough, a team player and connected to the Balkans for 25 years.
