    The renewable energy sector is growing rapidly. In addition to progress, that also means more available data. I use my knowledge in the field of information management and business intelligence to translate that data into high-quality information. Rapid developments within the sector are accompanied by major changes in policy and market forces. With the help of modelling, I want to collect insights that contribute to the resilience of the energy sector.

    During my career in sales, I have always done my own research to determine the relevant strategy. DNE appeals to me through a combination of research, sales and sustainability. We must be careful with our planet, for ourselves, but also for the generations to come. By making our research known to all companies involved in the energy transition, I am contributing to a better world.

    The energy transition fascinates me because of the incredible speed with which it is taking place. The consequences of the enormous cost reduction of sustainable electricity have hardly penetrated society. At Dutch New Energy Research we investigate this fantastic story. I coordinate the trend reports, but I also maintain contacts with the many experts and organizations we work with.
