Climate change is the biggest challenge that our generation has to face.

Addressing climate change and moving to a sustainable future requires a transition to a fully renewable energy system. This means producing electricity from renewable sources, but until now there has been a lack of focus on how to integrate this renewable energy into the grid, which is absolutely crucial for a successful energy transition.

This is why I founded Sympower in 2015, with the mission to accelerate the energy transition by unlocking demand-side, distributed flexibility. With our in-house, innovative software, we help the energy system become more sustainable (by making space for more renewables in the energy mix) and more inclusive (by making energy markets accessible to anyone).

Next to my CEO role, I am passionate about the subject of climate change communication, on which I am a published researcher. I was also a founding committee member of the Dutch Youth Climate Movement (Jonge Klimaatbeweging), where I continue to be active as a coach.
