SpringFactor’s founder
“When working as a diplomat in challenging environments across Africa and the Balkans, I discovered my drive: to work with young people who, against all odds, connect globally to shape their futures together. I left diplomacy and founded SpringFactor in 2012. It has been a fantastic journey. I now dedicate my expertise to those organisations who want to contribute to positive change.”
Marije is an experienced policy researcher, evaluator and concept developer, specialised in public private partnerships. She is also adjunct professor in International Relations and a member of the Advisory Board of Nuffic’s Orange Knowledge Programme.
