Martine Schmidt-Poolman Email & Phone Number

I am enthusiastic, creative and curious. At my best when I bring people together to achieve meaningful solutions to complex engineering problems through a systems-thinking approach. I entice stakeholders to share their ideas and use them during discussion, mainly in the fields of Energy and Water Resources Management, climate data analysis, resiliency & adaptation strategies and natural gas decommissioning. I hold a PhD degree in Water Resources Management from Civil Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. I obtained my Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management also at the Delft University of Technology.My work as a researcher, consultant, and overseeing projects and programs has enabled me to gain vast experience in working with local and national agencies, engineers, businesses, local government, communities, and researchers. I therefore feel equally at home in the field as in the conference and boardroom, whether in the US, the Netherlands, Ghana or elsewhere. Expertise lies in:- project management,- bringing various expertises and backgrounds together,- systems engineering and systems thinking,- evaluation and development of decision-making processes,- analysis of systems, stakeholders and networks, - communication in and development of participatory processes, - application and development of analytical and action-based research,- developing strategy and visions.

Listed skills include Water Management, Policy Analysis, Sustainable Development, Research, and 13 others.
