Recently, Stijn Hoevenaar and Veronique Martens joined our team. 3 questions for these new EPPA consultants!
What do you bring to EPPA?
Stijn: With an academic background in China studies and International Relations, I first gained experience in an international working environment, such as the EU delegation in Hong Kong and WorldPride. After that, I also worked in the advocacy department of the VNG.
Veronique: My passion for social issues started during my studies in European studies, after which I gained work experience at various NGOs. For example, I was previously a PA advisor at an organisation working for people with disabilities.
What are your first impressions?
Stijn: EPPA is a nice office where everyone works together to best inform and advise our clients on their advocacy, stakeholder management and strategic communications. It is a close-knit team where there is also room for a chat and a drink.
Veronique: I am falling head over heels in this exciting election season and I am enjoying conversations about politics with colleagues and clients.
What are you looking forward to the most?
Stijn: I look forward to contributing my experience and enthusiasm to exciting projects and learning even more about public affairs and strategic communication.
Veronique: I am really looking forward to using my experience and dedication to social issues at EPPA. Let's take on great projects together and celebrate successes!
We are also looking further into the future and are currently looking for motivated professionals to strengthen our team for the positions of Communicatiestrateeg and Adviseur communicatie.
