What gives you energy in your work?
Standing at the starting line feeling rested and full of adrenaline: that is what I do it for. In my work at the Barentszen Group, and specifically as Project Manager at Marathons International, I gain energy from providing peace of mind. The idea that both runners and supporters can enjoy a unique and carefree marathon experience thanks to us motivates me every day.
What inspires you when collaborating with colleagues or clients?
In collaboration with colleagues and clients, for me, it is all about working together toward the same goal. Building something bigger together, keeping each other sharp, and celebrating successes. That dynamic (planning, coordinating, and finding solutions) is what makes my work so enjoyable.
Which project has stayed with you the most?
Projects that have stayed with me include the marathon trips to Berlin and New York. Those are the moments where months of preparation come together and you see happy, tense, and proud faces at the start and the finish. Knowing that you played a role in that is priceless.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Outside of my work, sports play a major role in my life. I graduated in Sports Marketing & Management and am currently training for my next goal: an Ironman 70.3.
