Jane is passionate about people, cooperation and systems.  She has a BA in European Studies from Trinity College Dublin which grounded her vision for international cooperation and policy. Undertaking a MSc. in Sustainable Citizenship at Utrecht University lead her to see how our role as citizens is evolving and challenged in the context of climate change and environmental degradation.  

She is fascinated with the relationship between society and issues of sustainability, as well as how understanding the complexity of such relationships can create better solutions. Her master thesis and internship focused on blockchain technology and how identity technology for undocumented persons could enable better assistance during natural disasters in St. Maarten and Malawi.

 She has lived in several countries and enjoys bridging cultures, having worked in international business for two years in Singapore after her bachelor degree. Jane is now working with Except as a trainee so that she can work on  problems employing the unique integrated   approach that Except has created.

Sterkenburg Overmorgen

Mei 23, 2019, Middeleeuws kasteel Sterkenburg innoveert een nieuwe toekomst

Veel historische erfgoed in Nederland staat voor de uitdaging om businessmodellen te vinden die hun culturele erfgoed beschermt en optimaliseert in deze snel veranderende wereld. De eigenaren van het Middeleeuwse kasteel Sterkenburg in Driebergen besloten om die uitdaging aan te gaan. Ze gingen op zoek naar nieuwe manieren om de economische en sociale waarde van hun erfgoed nieuw leven in te blazen. Hiervoor brachten ze een multidisciplinaire groep van duurzaamheids experts van Except Integrated Sustainability bijeen. Except ontwierp een speciaal programma die de kansen van de plek laat zien. Het resultaat is een routekaart met concrete en snelle kostenbesparingen voor de korte termijn, en daarnaast biedt het nieuwe handvatten voor het kasteel om een rol te spelen in de samenleving van vandaag en morgen.
