About me
Het faciliteren en uitvoeren van toegepast onderzoek is mijn passie. Dit is wat mij elke dag inspireert en waardoor ik met plezier naar mijn werk ga. Na mijn opleiding in de moleculaire wetenschappen in Wageningen en promotieonderzoek bij fysiologische chemie in Utrecht, heb ik ervaring opgedaan in het onderzoek en marketing in het internationale bedrijfsleven. In 2010 ben ik begonnen als zelfstandig ondernemer.
Vanaf 2017 ben ik door Utrecht Life Sciences gedetacheerd bij stichting USP om de unieke R&D infrastructuur van Utrecht Science Park te ontsluiten en partijen binnen en buiten het Utrecht Science Park met elkaar te verbinden.
Als jouw bedrijf een onderzoeksvraag wil neerleggen bij het Utrecht InnovatieLab of zelf een bijdrage wil leveren om de potentie van het Utrecht Science Park beter te benutten dan nodig ik je bij deze graag uit om eens langs te komen.

Entrepreneurship, Startup Development
About me
Passionate about the entrepreneurial journey, I am always on the lookout for ideas to test or founding teams to join. I believe entrepreneurship is the only way to make a long-lasting, meaningful impact in society as larger organisations often lack the flexibility and agile structure required to tackle underserved needs in niche markets.
I co-founded, advised, and worked with startups in a whole different range of industries such as F&Bs, Tourism, EdTech, Fintech, SM, Health, and many more. My past experience taught me that one of the biggest mistakes first-time founders make is to get down to building a solution without enough time spent on understanding the problem.
I am currently overseeing one of the many programs we run at UtrechtInc. It is called StartupLeap and you can visit the website via this link: https://startupleap.org/
Excited to meet you on the 27th! :)
