Introduction: Advisor to Executive Director Nadia van Huisstede

About 3 months ago (September 2024) I started my position at the Dutch executive NvH_pasfotodirector’s office at the World Bank. Coming from the NL Ministry of Finance, my previous job was coordinating the team responsible for World Bank, IMF and G20 matters where my focus was on the World Bank and sovereign debt. Great to be at the Bank now and to remain engaged – albeit in a different role – in the leading multilateral development bank.

In previous roles at the Ministry of Finance I focused on the European Investment Bank and on the NL budget. My expertise is in financial issues (capital increases, domestic resource mobilization, illicit financial flows, financial instruments). No surprises there when looking at my background.

At the Bank I will continue to cover those issues and IDA, climate including biodiversity & nature and procurement.
