As a Business Developer at Attero, I lead the development of new projects from concept to execution. My role involves creating business cases, market development, securing commercial contracts, obtaining permits, and identifying the most suitable technologies. I ensure everything is in place for the start of construction. My primary focus at Attero is on the production of biomethane through the digestion of agricultural streams, a new and exciting area for the company. This includes working with manure and exploring innovative feedstocks like Silphie, a highly sustainable dual-purpose crop that can produce both green gas and renewable fibers. A few years ago, I transitioned from weather and climate advisory to the waste and recycling industry. I began my career in this field as a marketing and strategy consultant for Waste Treatment Technologies (WTT), a company that designs and builds organic waste treatment facilities worldwide, and provides upgrades and customer support for existing plants. WTT is committed to sustainability and innovation, helping to close the loop by giving waste new life.Before joining WTT, I was Business Developer and General Manager at Weather Impact BV, a company providing agribusinesses with reliable weather and climate (change) information. I managed Weather Impact from its founding in 2014, and was responsible for business development, building a global network of strategic partners and clients, and overseeing the development of our weather and agricultural advisory platform. I also led projects across Europe and Africa.I hold a PhD in climate science, where I researched uncertainties in climate projections, focusing on extreme precipitation and discharge changes in the Rhine basin. My expertise lies in bridging science and society, making complex scientific concepts accessible to non-specialists.I’m passionate about working with companies that are committed to creating a positive environmental impact. With strong analytical skills, independence, excellent communication abilities, and an entrepreneurial mindset, I thrive in environments where sustainability and innovation are key priorities.

Listed skills include Climate Change, Hydrology, Environmental Science, Sustainability, and 14 others.
