CEO
With over 20 years of experience in the social and health care sector,
there is not enough time in one timelife for all I wished to do.
I have written over 200 proposals for funded projects and managed/
implemented many of them in the field, with all its challenges, but also
with many rewards, such as smiles, when they improved the quality of
life of people with specific needs.
Besides being SHINE's CEO and Project Manager for an
international umbrella organisation, I am also developing the standard
EU Ethics framework for the ICT Profession, as external expert for CEN.
I am Chair of NET4Age-Friendly, Vice-President of the European Covenant on Demographic Change and Coordinator of the
Stakeholder Network SHAFE - Smart Healthy Age-friendly Environments.
As a cancer survivor, this is one specific are where I hope to bring some added value.
