Together with 65 colleagues and many more volunteers responsible for strengthening field hockey in the Netherlands. The KNHB and its (323) clubs provide ‘hockey-fun’ and ‘hockey-encounters’ in the Netherlands for (250,000) hockey players and (more than 1 million) fans.Via the Strategy 2026, the KNHB (and the clubs) are focusing on their (bold) ambition for 2026: (“Netherlands Hockey-country”): The Dutch love hockey. Because they play it themselves, because they fulfill a function on or off the pitch, because they think it is a fun sport to watch or because they are simply proud of the achievements of the Dutch National Teams. Hockey is as much a part of the Netherlands as our tulips, DJs and Dutch Design.Before joining the KNHB, Erik worked for almost 15 years as a consultant for the sports industry, the public sector and the private sector. Both in the Netherlands as well as internationally. Erik lived in the Netherlands, England, Ethiopia, and Russia.
