What drives you in your work? What gives you energy?
The collaboration with clients, partners, and colleagues. At BARENTSZEN GROUP, it is all about a genuine connection between people. In this way, we provide solutions for our clients’ challenges. That synergy gives me a great deal of energy.
What inspires you in your collaboration with colleagues or clients?
The enthusiasm that arises when you work toward a goal together. That collective drive and the feeling that you are creating something beautiful together is what truly motivates me.
Which ‘project’ has stayed with you the most? And why?
“Conference in the bush.” A conference in a large tent, complete with air conditioning and audiovisual facilities, in the middle of the Tanzanian steppes, while the Big Five literally walked around us. Rangers ensured that everything proceeded safely and smoothly. During the coffee break, you looked out over the landscape and saw the animals passing by. An unforgettable experience, both for us as organizers and for the participants.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Or what do we not know about you yet?
I enjoy photography, preferably of people. This may not come as a surprise after my previous answers; ultimately, for me, much revolves around people and their stories.
