  De Groene Reus

  Dec 2011 - Sept 2019

  As founder, chairman and director I moved myself into a less demanding role of ambassador of De Groene Reus, thereby protecting the vision and bringing in new projects for De Groene Reus. I am the 'bloodline' for new projects to be developed which can turn into very profitable revenues for De Groene Reus. De Groene Reus is a local sustainable energy cooperation in Almere. We facilitate purchase of 100% green energy, self-generation of electric power (solar panels) and participations in windmills.
