I worked for more then 8 years for KIYO, a belgian ngo for childrens rights and worked among the rights of children in vulnerable situations in the Philippines, Burundi, DR Congo, India and Brazil.

Since january 2018, I work as program manager at De Stuyverij, an organization where ideas and dreams can become reality, where we develop open source models for a better work life balance and where we incubate innovative projects. We believe in bottom-up strategies and in the power of every single person. We believe that, if someone is owner of a project, he/she should only be facilitated to accomplish his/her goals.
