I am a health scientist, biomechanist and epidemiologist with a 25+ year career in The Netherlands and UK, with extensive experience and success in research and leadership in health science, both in academia and business. My focus is on using real-world data to inform health improvement. I am a strategic and analytical thinker, a leader with a warm and personable communication style, who likes to get things done. I want to use the power of science to let people’s talents flourish; and I like to let every member of my professional teams achieve their potential through creating a positive and effective working environment that brings the best out of everyone.With my company The Science Citizen I aim to bridge the gap between research and real-world evidence, by providing services on project development; data collection, curation and analytics; regulatory affairs; staff development; and integrating the lived experience of patients.
