Kirsten Kievid Social Entrepreneur

After completing my studies in European Politics and Administration in Maastricht, I’ve participated in divers international projects for 1,5 years. As a junior consultant I participated in the Research Project Maastricht related to Maastricht University in Brazil focusing on the recycling of PET bottles. Shortly after, I worked as a project assistant at the United Nations World Food Programme in Kenya for a project on food security for small scale farmers. Back in the Netherlands I worked as a social entrepreneur focusing on public-private partnerships.

So far it has been great working for We Beat The Mountain. The challenge of working in a start-up with a small enthusiastic team is something that really appeals to me. I’m determined in reaching the goal that We Beat The Mountain has set: beating the worldwide trash mountain. Within the team I’m responsible for operations & sales.
