Skilled connector and organizer
I know Karin as someone with a pleasant tenacity on the subjects she stands for. Her sense of nuance and people knowledge, but also a structural approach and strategic view of things make her a skilled connector and organizer. Her heart and head are in balance, which means she is ideally suited to work on socially relevant topics.

Passionate and Professional
Last year I used the services of Karin and her company Joint Projects to accelerate the progress of an internal task force for studying and increasing the accessibility of our existing and new rides. Thanks to her inspiring working session and her professionalism in leadership we made a big step in improving and attention for accessibility of our ride systems.
I continued the professional and pleasant relationship by including her in further developments and in attending initiatives, like the “Digital Wake Up”, of the Community “Toegankelijke Recreatie”. Also in these sessions you can recognize the professional involvement of Karin in the efficient managed and well organized meetings.
As consequence Vekoma is happy to join the community and benefit further from Karin’s drive and commitment to get things done in general and specific to improve the accessibility in the leisure industry.
