Hi, I’m Niels
I’m married and live in Mechelen. Turning complex topics into clear, compelling public narratives is what I do best.
With about a decade of experience, I bring a hands-on, strategic approach to the table. Currently, as Communication & Media Manager at the European Biodiesel Board (EBB), my role is to position the association in the European energy debate, taking intricate legislative concepts, and making them accessible and understandable.
Next to my association work, I run my own communications agency, allowing me to take on projects that align with my expertise.
I started my career at an internationally renowned PR agency, where I learned the ropes of corporate communications and media strategy. From there, I expanded my focus, crafting and implementing communication strategies, running trainings and messaging workshops at Evoke.
Languages: 🇳🇱 & 🇺🇸
MY GOAL
Giving organisations the confidence and clarity they need to lead the conversation.
Strengths
Strategic evaluations, presentations and workshop.
Hand-on support, where you need it.
Strong writing and design skills.
