K&S Consulting - Education, talks & consultancies
K&S Consulting is a company that I direct since 2007. We use this company as a platform for all new initiatives, teaching, talks, small projects, consultancies, and so on. MalariaWorld, the world's platform for 11.000 malaria professionals, was a major project developed by K&S Consulting before it was handed over to the Dutch Malaria Foundation in 2011. Other clients include(d) the World Health Organization, the UN Environment Programme, the Swiss development Cooperation, IVCC, Soneva, Wageningen University & Research Centre, Bayer AG, the Commission of Science and Technology in Tanzania, the United Nations (International Atomic Energy Agency), and the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam, to name a few.
Dutch Malaria Foundation - Towards a malaria-free world
I am the co-founder of the Dutch Malaria Foundation, and currently serve as Chair of its Board. Also, as Editor of MalariaWorld, the global social and professional network for malaria professionals, with 11.000+ members in 140 countries, I write editorials, invite guest editorials, stimulate debate on the platform, conduct e-interviews, and so on. MalariaWorld has one simple mission: we want anyone, anywhere, to have full open access to all information on malaria. To this effect we work hard to improve access. In 2010 we started the Open Access MalariaWorld Journal, a peer-reviewed scientific journal with an exclusive focus on malaria.
UBS Optimus Foundation - A shared commitment to children
I have been a Board member of the UBS Optimus Foundation between June 2006 and December 2012. This is one of the largest Swiss charitable foundations with more than a 100 projects worldwide. With a focus to improve the health and education for children. I worked for the Foundation as an external board member in the area of Global Health Research, reviewed proposals submitted to the foundation, and helped the foundation setting its future strategy.
