Joline Teisman

Challenge leader

Welcome to my personal stamp on the NOM site. Joline here, nice to make your acquaintance - and perhaps at your service!

What does a challenge leader do between investment managers and business developers? I'd love to hear what issues keep you awake but haven't solved yet. And I'm not talking about how to get your socks out of the wash as a set, why your houseplant has failed again or other home, garden and kitchen problems. Nor about world peace - although that would be nice, of course.

From the ChallengeBase program, I provide connections between organizations with complex innovation issues and startups or SMEs with a fresh perspective and smart solutions. Feel free to call or email me and I'll tell you more about it.

Two turns around the corner from the NOM office and you're in Eelde - that's where my roots are. I have been living in Groningen for over ten years now. A true northerner then. Creative, hands-on and always up for a challenge.

From the restaurant floor of the family business, through my education in human-centered design and a master's degree in energy transition, to the projects I have overseen as a consultant - I am at my best where sustainability, innovation and entrepreneurship come together.

Do you have an idea that excites you, but could use some concreteness or a burst of creativity? I'd love to think with you!

(And the same applies, by the way, if you're considering a wine tour of northern France or Italy.)
