Stijn Kwakernaat
Besides being a sports enthusiast, including cycling, rowing, and running, Stijn's biggest hobby is talking. He always has a ready word and is great to work with. That's why the role he holds is perfect for him. Stijn is the Partnerships Coordinator, responsible for maintaining and acquiring our partners and ensuring that there are enough funds available to develop the exoskeleton.
He has already gained experience in acquisition through a committee he worked with, and he was immediately drawn to it. He enjoyed being the point of contact for companies. His personal goal for this year is to improve his communication skills and become more structured and less chaotic in his work and agenda.
Stijn maintains a positive and motivated attitude at all times. Additionally, he chose to join MARCH because he finds it beautiful that the project involves creating something where you can directly see the impact on the life of someone with a spinal cord injury.
