Louise van Koppen

We are faced with an increasing number of severe problems, which challenge us to change business as usual. As I see it, either we deal with the problem or the problem deals with us. New, interdisciplinary perspectives are needed to address these, in which critical thinking is central.

My contribution to ACE Company is bringing this new, interdisciplinary way of approaching problems. My broad background in University College studying the connection between different disciplines, allowed me to make the connection between people, planet and profit. My competency is to think critically, while believing nothing is impossible.

I am energized by working together in small groups, finding and implementing solutions together. Networking and making connections between people, practice and theory is my core strength.

Outside the office I love to travel, experience foreign cultures and meet new people. I like salsa dancing and go for a run every now and then. Books or documentaries on sustainable societies and ways of living fill the rest of my time.
