Speaker Profiles

As a single mother of four children and engineering manager at bol, I know better than anyone how challenging, and at the same time wonderful , work-life balance can be. Every day brings new challenges, but it is precisely this combination of motherhood and career that makes my life dynamic and valuable.

My love for technology began early on. I studied Media Technology and once wrote code myself. Although I no longer program on a daily basis now, my background gives me a good understanding of the technical challenges my teams face. Working with teams on complex technical solutions that impact clients on a daily basis is something I enjoy immensely.

What drives me most, however, is helping people take their next step. Whether that's in their career, in their personal development or in overcoming obstacles. I get energy from guiding, challenging and inspiring others. That is what gets me out of bed in the morning and why I am so passionate about my role.

Besides my work and family, I like to make time to clear my head. Hiking, preferably in the woods,  is for me a moment of rest and reflection. It gives me space to think, get new ideas and simply enjoy nature.

My journey is one of challenges, learning and growth. I have experienced a lot over the years and learned valuable lessons, and I hope to inspire others
