𝐀 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬. I’m closing this chapter with my MSc in Management of Innovation from the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. This period gave me the opportunity to further develop my curiosity about innovation. From a young age, I wanted to understand everything and constantly bombarded my parents with questions about how things worked. Whether it was how a light turned on or how a car's wheels rotated, I just had to know how it all fit together. That same enthusiasm led me to pursue a master’s in innovation — figuring out how things can be more efficient, especially when there's no manual to follow. It's this pioneering spirit that continues to spark my interest. During my studies, I had the opportunity to do and learn a lot, from working at IncoNed - Inkoopcombinatie Nederland on growth strategies to being an sales ambassador for STËLZ and performing (inter)nationally as a DJ for the company I founded, We Are Mamba. In addition, I learned a great deal about investing at B&R Beurs Erasmus Investment Society, which resulted in winning the investment competition. I thoroughly enjoyed my master's research on open innovation in Dutch SMEs, where I explored the challenges of knowledge sharing between collaborating parties. It was a very educational process, and I believe my insights could be valuable for companies facing these challenges. I completed this research with an 8 (out of 10). I look back with great pleasure on the positive collaboration I experienced with my supervisor, Graham Cross PhD. Now it’s time for the next step, but first, I’ll enjoy traveling through Central and South America, starting in November. Afterward, I’ll dive into new adventures in the world of innovation with full energy. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way! 🙏🏼 #erasmus #innovation #graduate #master #openinnovation #smes #knowledgesharing #collaboration
