I am mission driven, with a strong interest and track record in working with private companies and non-governmental organisations intending to make a positive impact on the environment and society.
I am based in Ghana until the end of 2023. Currently trying to set up a small family business focussing on circularity by processing banana pseudostem waste to fibers. From 2024 onwards I will probably be travelling to Ghana once a year. Kanko Consultancy will follow this journey accordingly.
Currently, through KANKO I am busy with rounding off projects in the Accra / Kumasi region and on a remote basis. From January 2024 I will be residing in Amsterdam and available for on location and hybrid assignments in The Netherlands.
