I am Assistant Professor Policy, Politics and Society at the Department of Public Administration and Sociology at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), the Netherlands.

My research focuses on the governance and management of hybridity — particularly hybrid organizations such as autonomized agencies, social enterprises, and other forms of social innovation that operate at the interface of state, market, and society. I am especially interested in how these organizations navigate conflicting institutional logics and what their hybridity means for public governance.

In my work, I seek to bridge theory and practice. Before joining EUR, I was affiliated with the Netherlands School for Public Administration and two Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences. I have advised various public organizations in the Netherlands and internationally.

Currently, I am a member of WISESHIFT, a Horizon Europe project that explores how Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) can help drive inclusive and sustainable transitions across Europe.

Previously, I contributed to the European Commission’s Mutual Learning Programme on social enterprise and took part in OECD-led research on supporting social innovation in the German federal state of Brandenburg. I was also the Dutch management committee member for the COST Action Empowering the next generation of social enterprise scholars.

In my teaching at EUR, I integrate insights from my research on hybridity, social innovation and public governance. I aim to prepare students to engage critically with real-world complexity and understand how politics, policy and organizational dynamics shape public value in practice.
