About Simi
After managing over 150 events and projects for the tech industry for a wide variety of
players - including EU Commission, local government bodies, corporates and VC / investment
funds - I challenged myself to look beyond the European context.
After living in Tanzania for 2 years, I am now back in Europe, focused on speeding up the transition to a low-carbon and circular economy, as well as building bridges between Europe and East African Region.
I combine 9+ years experience as a Senior Project, Program and Event Manager.
Next to completing the Sustainable Business Strategy course at Harvard Business School Online, I reguarly audit events as a certified Green Events Assessor.
Hire me, as a street-smart creative executor who likes to get things done, to:
- lead impactful projects from A to Z
- connect the dots inside and outside of the tech ecosystem to steer the neccessary collaboration
- design unforgettable experiences steering positive change
- promote investments into sustainability and circularity
- navigate cross-cultural environments with competence (I speak 8 languages)
