I am Baukje Feronia Kleinbekman

I enjoy simplifying complexity, experimenting and creating (re)new(ed) concepts, products and services.

My middle name Feronia, after the goddess of freedom, absolutely influenced my personal and professional life. I went exploring the minute I could walk and love the inspiration from encounters with new people, places and experiences! Freedom to explore has always been a large part of my professional passion as well. Most visibly in seeing possibilities and creating opportunities for others to develop.

From the start of my career, I have been deployed to set up new activities. Usually project-based because I like to put a dot on the horizon to work towards, together with teammates. Due to my work in various sectors, countries and disciplines, I have a wide range of hard and soft skills enabling me to facilitate development within your organisation in a creative and pleasant manner.
