Erik’s mission at BankTrack is to keep our website up to date and in good shape, and identify funding sources for our work.

Erik was educated at the HEAO Business School in Arnhem, where he studied Logistics, Marketing and Economics. He was a certified financial and mortgage advisor.

Erik spent most of his working life as financial advisor for private and small business clients. At the same time, he worked as a volunteer for Amnesty International coordinating regional campaign work. Through an unlikely turn of events, he came across BankTrack whilst researching topics for a local newspaper and typing ‘Nijmegen’ into WikiLeaks. After writing an article about BankTrack, he decided that it would be the perfect organisation for him to work for - a crossroads between his background in finance and his human rights work. And so, he started in February 2016, eventually becoming BankTrack’s Website Content Manager.

Besides his work at BankTrack he volunteers as an editor for local newspaper De Nijmeegse Stadskrant, and at a local secondhand bookshop called Books4Life. He considers himself a nerdy text-driven book worm and still stubbornly believes he has it in him to write a work of fiction.

Growing up in the Italian Alps, she inherently holds nature in high regard and dreams of renovating an old cottage with a large permaculture garden in her native village. In her free time, you can find her advocating for sustainable fashion all over social media, knitting a sweater while drinking a hot cup of tea, or hiking the hills of Southern Limburg.
