Netherlands
Message

At the European Space Agency, I analyzed new and upcoming regulations and assessed their impact on cybersecurity across navigation and telecommunication programmes, including Galileo, LEO-PNT, and IRIS². I also delivered more than 50 awareness campaigns and co-authored an article published in Air and Space Law.

As Young ESA Main Coordinator, I coordinated 18 groups and a core team of 50, managed an annual budget of €70,000, and helped create an ESA-NASA pen pals programme with 380 participants. My legal training spans EU and international law, cybersecurity, and intellectual property, including an LLM in Intellectual Property & ICT Law.
