As a Circular Economy consultant, I have carried out over 50 projects for public and private clients in the Netherlands and abroad. These projects range from strategic advice to cities, to change management within organizations, to in-depth market studies, to coordinating public-private partnerships. Examples of my work include advising municipalities (e.g., Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht) on smart waste collection in inner cities and new neighborhoods; developing an investment strategy to combat plastic pollution in (urban) waters for the European Investment Bank; and creating and implementing a new process for collecting and handling sustainability data for a client in Hong Kong (incl. three months in-house).Rebel, with more than 250 consultants, specializes in public-private partnerships and operates across various sectors including urban development, mobility, infrastructure, circular economy, energy, and healthcare. Rebel's headquarters are in Rotterdam, and we have offices in Antwerp, Düsseldorf, London, Washington D.C., Toronto, San Francisco, Johannesburg, and Nairobi.
