Entrepreneur


A young social entrepreneur in Leeuwarden. I believe in simple solutions for problems occurring in society. For me, social entrepreneurship is key to unlock these solutions as they offer the opportunity to look beyond a certain profession and to make new connections. Networking and co-creation are our fundamentals to innovate. By networking we, my current partner Mark Poels and I, saw the opportunity to start an enterprise. TurningPlaces brings an innovative solution for the shortage of affordable homes, by making use of the vacant properties and connecting different parties together to empower the people and unlock new opportunities.
