Paul focuses on the strategic direction and business management of major cultural institutions. In addition to his directorial work, he holds various supervisory and board roles – including at the heritage association Hendrick de Keyser – and brings the worlds of the museum and the book together like no other.
Marjon Lok has been a lawyer since 2005, specializing in corporate governance, corporate litigation, arbitration & dispute resolution. She began her career at Baker & McKenzie. In 2014, she made the switch to DVDW Advocaten, where she has been a partner since 2016. Marjon focuses on the prevention, remediation, and litigation of complex national and international disputes within legal entities. In addition to advising shareholders, investors, directors, bankruptcy trustees, and legal entities, she also assists supervisory boards and looks forward to sitting on the other side of the table for a change.
Mourad el Moussati, as the founder of Sollicitatiemarkt.nl and Divers Werken, has developed into an expert and pioneer in the field of equal opportunities in the labor market since 2016. He has helped over sixty organizations, including several museums. In addition, he is a lecturer at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and guides refugees with a residence permit who have an IT background toward suitable employment. He does this not only because treating people equally is a moral and legal obligation, but also because he believes in the power of human difference.
