About Marije
Skilled in organization, financial planning, and maintaining a clear overview under pressure and tight deadlines. I quickly absorb new information and build strong, lasting relationships with team members and stakeholders to achieve the best possible outcomes for the organization, the team, and the beneficiaries.
I enjoy pioneering new ideas and exploring new challenges. This has made me creative, adaptable, innovative, and always eager to learn. I prefer a bottom-up approach and often work from a user or customer journey perspective.
My strength is to be pro-active, driven, enthusiastic and ambitious and I’m always looking for opportunities to improve and grow. Finally, I believe it's important to share my knowledge and experience with pupils, students and young professionals: they are the future, and I’m committed to contributing to their development, both personally and professionally.
