Christian van der Veen social entrepreneur

It has been a thrill to work on the We Beat The Mountain project since the day I started here. I find it challenging to work in a small start up because of the dynamic way of working. I strongly believe in We Beat The Mountain as a movement and as a brand. Making people aware of the value of trash and trigger them to join us is what gives me lots of energy. I'm determined to help We Beat The Mountain in reaching its goal: beating the trash mountain. In the team I'm responsible for sales and project management.

I've studied Strategy & Organizational Science in Amsterdam, where I still live. I'm 26 years old and started working as a trainee at Kirkman Company. Within this traineeship, We Beat The Mountain is my first project.
