Physiotherapist and biomedical scientist…

Jelmer studied Physiotherapy in Nijmegen and did actually work as a physiotherapist after that. He loved helping individual patients but also realized that he was more interested in making greater impact. That’s why he also obtained a Master’s degree in Biomedical Science, with a focus on health technology assessment. That enables him to work on an organization and system level too.

Jelmer loves to cook and spend the whole evening at the dinner table with good company. And he plays tennis at least three times a week.

… who helps organizations work more efficiently

Providing the best care as efficiently as possible: that’s what Jelmer helps organizations do. He’s familiar with the practice of working in healthcare and easily makes the connection from theory to the shop floor. Jelmer likes to take a good look at things, analyze them and then think out some scenarios, but it’s successful implementation that really gives him energy. Or as he puts it: ‘Great plans are great, but it’s taking firm action that really makes a difference.’
