She has a lot of experience in developing cycling policy as well as in working in a wide range of cycling subjects and projects. As a policy advisor she is experienced in moderating political processes in cities and in creating agreements with different stakeholders. She shares her expertise about what it takes to change a car-oriented city into a bicycle-oriented one. Many delegations from all over the world visit Amsterdam for this reason.
