Process support officer/coordinator IBDO
Strengthening and greening the chemical industry in the North, promoting sustainability and employment. That, in a nutshell, is what the Chemport Europe ecosystem stands for. It is a collaboration between companies, knowledge institutions and governments, and NOM is also part of it.
Working for Chemport at NOM since October 2020. First as communication advisor, now as Business Developer for initiating innovation projects. After my training as a chemical engineer in Delft, my career soon took a turn towards innovation and marketing. First in Fast Moving Consumer Goods at Procter&Gamble and Douwe Egberts, then in Business to Business at Paques and the Imagineers, among others. The common thread is innovation and technology and that is why I am perfectly at home at NOM.
In my spare time I can usually be found in or on the water. I live in Friesland with my family, where I enjoy sailing, supping and swimming. I also like to paint, preferably impressionist, and I am involved in the initiative to connect our village to a heat network using aquathermy from the Heegermeer lake in the future.
