With a background in corporate human resources management, corporate travel management and commercial marketing in the public sector, and always with a keen focus on team development, I have the privilege of leading the refreshed NATM approach to ensure further education and resources are available across a variety of subjects for our Members. It is my privilege to serve the interest of the NATM members in the field of travel management and to contribute to professionalize and create awareness to the added value of the corporate travel manager in particular. Being the representative of this dedicated team of professionals drives me on a daily basis to represent their best interest as the voice of the corporate business travel industry in the Netherlands and in the GBTA Europe Partnership Council.
