About me
From early in his career Christian sought for ways to use the mindsets, models, and tools of entrepreneurship to create impact.
His MBA gave him the opportunity to research bottom up social innovation amongst refugees in Jordan and led him to consult social enterprises in Lebanon. Inspired by his research and work in the region, he co-founded a social enterprise in London that supported social enterprises to internationalise.
In London, he also joined Euclid Network (EN), was part of the move and reestablishment in The Netherlands, and now oversees the implementation of a number of projects, EN’s impact measurement, and generally the work on social innovation.
