As a graduate in Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management from TU Delft, I am driven by the intersection of technology, strategy and societal impact. This background enables me to approach complex challenges with a well-rounded perspective, considering not only the technical aspects but also the organizational, economic and stakeholder dimensions. As the Partnership Manager of Forze Hydrogen Racing Team XIX, I am proud to contribute to the development and success of the Forze IX.

In my position as Partnership Manager, I am responsible for shaping and maintaining the network of organisations that make our ambitious project possible. I work closely with industry partners to align our technical challenges with their expertise and innovation goals, ensuring that every collaboration brings value to both sides.

What I find most rewarding about my role is contributing to a mission that extends far beyond the racetrack. I am motivated by the opportunity to connect visionary partners with a team of passionate and talented students who are proving that hydrogen technology is a powerful contender in the transition to clean mobility. Together, we are not only developing a high-performance race car. We are working to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen solutions in real-world transportation. Through close partnerships and a shared drive for innovation, we work toward a future where sustainable technology leads the way.
