My professional experience combines executive leadership, governance responsibility, and academic expertise in finance and sustainability.
At executive level, I have served as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) within socially oriented organizations. In these roles, I was responsible for financial strategy, capital allocation, risk management, and performance steering, operating in complex stakeholder environments with strong public accountability. This included oversight of budgeting cycles, investment decisions, treasury, procurement strategy, and internal control frameworks.
As CFO, I worked closely with supervisory boards and audit committees on financial reporting, governance design, and long-term strategic positioning. As CPO, I led procurement transformation processes, aligning sourcing strategies with broader organizational objectives and societal impact. These combined roles provided hands-on experience with balancing financial discipline, operational execution, and long-term strategic ambition.
In parallel, I am affiliated with Nyenrode Business University, where I conduct research and teach in the domains of circular economy, governance, and sustainable value creation. I work with executives, board members, and professionals in executive education programs, focusing on integrating ESG, risk, and long-term value into financial decision-making.
In addition to my academic role, I advise organizations and boards on governance redesign, sustainability integration, value chain collaboration, and data-driven decision-making. My work supports leadership teams in translating strategic ambition into financially sound and structurally embedded implementation.
Across all roles, my focus remains consistent: strengthening governance and financial systems to enable disciplined, long-term value creation.
