Testimonials
“Karen thinks and acts independently. This is an important trait to help a company move towards a sustainable model. Her driven and engaging style makes it a pleasure to work with her.”
Stijn Broucke - Technology & application innovation expert @ Atlas Copco
“Karen and I have worked together in a coalition to encourage children for STEM education, with a lot of attention to girls and vulnerable groups. Karen always showed herself to be a future-oriented thinker, with a good balance between technical and social skills. She is action-oriented and results-oriented. She thinks creatively out of the box and in this way succeeds in making the unmeasurable measurable. She is driven by impact! She is a top sustainability professional with a heart for people and planet”
Peggy van Casteren – Head of SDG & community impact J&J Benelux
"The jury is convinced that Karen has great potential to be a transformer who can help large organisations become truly sustainable beyond green washing. Karen is clearly a frontrunner. She asks the right questions while formulating constructive answers. Her commitment is not limited to her professional career but continues in her private life. Karen is an inspiration to many. Her personal commitment and energy are contagious and have already shifted several beacons, sometimes at her own expense."
