Program Director and Managing Director at PICNIC,
I have been involved in PICNIC from its inception as crossmedia and technology event in 2006, when it hosted only a conference and specialty workshops. I have enjoyed playing an active role in its development into a festival dedicated to blurring the lines between creativity, science, technology and business in order to co-create the future.
My roles have varied from the project management of the whole Festival in 2006 and 2007 to playing a part in programming the specials and the labs. As of 2009, I have been responsible for all of the PICNIC Festival programming.
As CEO of Dutchblend, a privately owned company, I have developed, programmed and advised professional events that are positioned on the crossroads between creativity, (media) technology, business and governance since 2006. A few such events are the SpinAwards, ICT Delta, Dutch Bloggies and TEDxWomen.
Until 2005, I worked as the Event Director Benelux for the IT-research firm IDC, building their Benelux event business from the ground up. It was through my role as Project Manager at Media Plaza (1997-2002) that I first got acquainted with the world of Internet, ICT and new media and built my firm belief in its unequivocal power to change the world.
I am an avid food lover and cook. In fact, I opened my own restaurant when I was 20. Nowadays I like to hike through the famous wine areas in the world and throw multi-course diners for my friends.

Great article of Rob van Kranenburg in Fast Company. Love his thinking. And of course Rob is also hosting an internet of things workshop again this year at PICNIC!!
About a decade ago, I would stand in the middle of a square somewhere and imagine that everything I saw could and would one day be possibly connected.In my mind that was not such a new idea. Animists in Africa and Asia have for centuries talked about "living" inanimate objects, believing that things had a soul and taking good care of them. Humans are meaning-making machines, so we invest inanimate... Read more
