Wijnand is responsible for driving strategy, client relationships, and multi-sector service delivery across the Pacific region. He largely focuses on infrastructure projects for international financial intuitions, bilateral donor clients, and government agencies. Above all, his goal is improving outcomes for communities while protecting the environment.
As an environmental scientist, Wijnand also engages in technical work, supporting teams undertaking environmental impact and risk assessments, due diligence, and diagnostic studies. Working in the Pacific’s dynamic environment can be an adventure—seeing beautiful landscapes and meeting new people are part of the fun. For Wijnand, the biggest reward is seeing the direct impact his projects have on people’s lives—whether these efforts increase electricity, provide clean water, or help vulnerable communities adapt to the threats of climate change.
Wijnand loves everything outdoors, so on his days off, you might find him mountain biking, gardening, or fly fishing.
