My organisation
About me
At VDL ETS I’m the manager smart mobility. I’m a team player with passion in innovation. With a master degree “Technology and innovation” from the Technical university of Eindhoven and a background in automotive and infrastructure, I use my skills to stimulate the business development in smart mobility. I’m responsible for collecting knowledge and information on future developments as well-as translating the developments towards business goals for our organization.
After 5 years of working in the railway domain at ProRail, the last 10 years I was focused on the developments for road vehicles at Altran, Capgemini and VDL ETS.
I managed projects for proof of concepts on connected and automated vehicles, for both the OEM’s as for the infrastructure operators. Some of most interesting projects I managed are: the development of a concept for an automated shuttle, development of a vehicle system for connected (V2X) use cases), organization of a proof-of-concept for cooperative mobility in Asia.
My organisation
At VDL Enabling Transport Solutions (VDL ETS) we focus on researching, developing and testing new ideas mainly in sustainable mobility. We strive for fully connected automated mobility with zero-emission. We development battery or hydrogen-powered vehicles, both manual driven and fully automated.
