Marike is Senior Advisor for the International Panel of Parliamentarians for Freedom of Religion or Belief (IPPFoRB).
She’s a Dutch/Norwegian with a PhD in medical science, bringing over 20 years of leadership in small businesses, large corporations, non-profits, NGOs, and academia, overseeing complex international projects and programs.
She is a Peace ambassador at heart and has Freedom as her highest value.
Since 2016, she has been leading her own company, guiding professionals on transformative journeys to become PEACE-driven leaders and establish enduring legacies. She’s eager to support specific peace-building initiatives, like her previous engagement with the Business for Peace Foundation in Oslo, and her current commitment to IPPFoRB.
I believe that everyone has a right to live in peace and experience joy on a daily basis. Political leaders are in a unique position to create positive change in the world and the IPPFoRB gives them a distinctive platform to amplify their transformative impact.
