'Aviation belongs to us all. And that's what makes it so great to work for Royal Schiphol Group. I've been doing that since 2006, gaining a wide range of experience in the commercial field and at the airports themselves. It's a great place to work and I am proud of Schiphol and its participations. Each and every airport is fantastic. My personal mission for Lelystad Airport is to work towards the political decision-making regarding the opening together with all stakeholders, local residents and colleagues. I also want to work on keeping the current General Aviation operation safe and compliant. When I'm not wrapped up in aviation, I enjoy skiing in Switzerland. That's my favourite holiday destination.'
