Imelda de Keijzer
As Project Manager, Imelda is responsible for overseeing the overall planning of the project. This includes setting up the annual schedule as well as coordinating with the different departments to establish their specific timelines. She ensures that the planning is realistic, deadlines are met, and that teammates stay motivated to carry out their tasks. Her main focus this year is to bring structure across the team while maintaining a clear overview of the bigger picture.
Imelda holds a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design Engineering and is currently pursuing her master’s in Strategic Product Design. With this background, she has learned how to make complicated systems understandable for everyone involved. Project MARCH now gives her the chance to apply this skill in practice, while also developing as a leader.
What excites her most about this year is the chance to collaborate with a diverse team of people from different backgrounds and to learn from their perspectives. At the same time, she is eager to dive into the technical side of the exoskeleton and gain hands-on experience with its development, combining her organizational role with a deeper technical understanding.
