I am a freelance offshore wind power expert with two decades of industry, project and research experience. Since 2019 I am also part-time as Lecturer Offshore Wind Energy at TU Delft. Combining technical expertise, project management and teaching/mentoring, I bring an integral engineering view on offshore wind projects to the table.

Offshore wind power and energy infrastructure expert with two decades of industry and research experience. Since 2022 I am working through Scale Offshore Renewable Energy for several offshore wind projects. Since 2019 I am also part-time Lecturer Offshore Wind Energy at TU Delft. I have a strong focus on QHSE, engineering, cooperation and project delivery. I am a team player with good interpersonal, motivational, presentation and reporting skills.

Between 2012 and 2022 I have worked as WTG and E-infra Package Manager, Engineering Manager, Deputy EPC Director and Construction Manager for Windpark Fryslân. Between 2012 and 2016 I was WTG and Electrical Package Manager at Westermeerwind (nearshore) and at NOP Agrowind (onshore) wind parks. In 2011, I co-founded BMO Offshore, now part of MO4, a leading data service provider for the offshore wind industry. I worked for Siemens Wind Power (now SGRE) in 2008-2011 as Technical Project Manager, Offshore where I was wind turbine engineering lead for Sheringham Shoal offshore wind park (UK) and Pori demonstrator (FIN).

I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering (2009, grid integration of large-scale wind power) and a MSc in System Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management (2004, renewable energy) both from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. In 2003 and 2004 I worked as an intern at KEMA T&D Consulting (now DNV) and Eltra (now Energinet.dk) on the grid integration of large-scale wind power.
