Case Studies
A selection of engagements where strategic thinking and financial rigour translated into measurable outcomes for Amsterdam organisations.
Strategy · Gemeente Amsterdam
Built the strategic and financial case for rerouting Amsterdam's residual wood streams — currently processed at a bio-energy plant — to a pyrolysis facility. Pyrolysis converts the wood into biochar, a stable carbon material that sequesters CO₂ for centuries, generating negative emissions and creating a circular feedstock for urban soils.

Finance · Het Amsterdamse Bos
Designed and built a bespoke financial planning and analysis tool for Het Amsterdamse Bos, enabling multi-year scenario modelling, budget variance tracking, and grant reporting — replacing fragmented spreadsheets with a single source of truth.

Carbon Markets
Municipalities are under pressure to hit net-zero targets without the luxury of carbon offsets that are years away. Biochar offers something rare — permanence, local production, and co-benefits for urban soils.
Financial Planning
Most mid-sized public and non-profit organisations treat Excel as their FP&A system. Here is why that is a risk — and what a purpose-built planning model actually delivers in practice.
Strategy
Early-stage sustainability and innovation projects rarely fit a standard NPV model. A structured approach to framing uncertainty — rather than pretending it away — builds more credible boards and better decisions.
Work With Me
I work with organisations in Amsterdam and the Netherlands on finance, strategy, and the decisions that sit between the two. If you have a problem worth solving, let's talk.
