about

i started my career within shell with the goal to work for a company that believes in developing talent and providing opportunities to grow. many would describe me as a result-driven and proactive individual. hard-working and passionate about people and contributing to the most productive and inclusive work place. as a mother of 2 boys i’m very passionate about the energy transition and determined to do my part for them. i’m currently the territory manager for e-mobility and alliances. in this role, i’m looking after our shell recharge network within the netherlands and ensuring that we successfully transition our business from conventional fueling stations to hubs of the future.

what or who inspired you to pursue your chosen career?

my mother was a stay at home mom, who always aspired to be more, only never really had the opportunity due to various circumstances. she provided me with the handrails and the encouragement to be a strong independent woman and to never settle for less. my mother’s words, my tenacious personality combined with the words of dr. seuss’s ”oh the places you will go” inspired me to pursue this career.
