“Matthijs can make difficult things simple,” a former colleague once said. That’s what I like doing best: translating complex social issues into understandable and feasible solutions. As a policy economist with extensive political/administrative experience, I work on advisory projects in all kinds of sectors.

I am cheerful, curious and a fast writer. I function well under pressure and get to the point quickly by distinguishing main and minor issues. My commitment is always to bring people and parties together, even when positions differ, the situation changes or interests clash.
