Managing Director, Stad als Podium
Working as a professional in the performing arts- and live music branch for over 20 years. Focusing on artistic value, concept building, management and advise. Sometimes side hustling as a moderator and host.

Currently spearheading Stad als Podium ('the city is a stage'), a cultural organization that is responsible for a year-round program in the city of Harderwijk in The Netherlands. Literally using the city as a playground, by putting together programs at venues, odd buildings as well as historic sites. Stad als Podium advocates the (local) performing arts by boosting new initiatives and helps transforming ideas into projects.
