Philip Verstraaten

After a career as a Project Manager, Management Consultant, Chartered Accountant and Computer Scientist, I retired in 2020, around the start of the COVID pandemic. For the past year, I have taken the time to convert from a more than full time work life to spending time with my family and researching topics of interest. Originally I am from The Netherlands, where I lived in The Hague and Amsterdam, but worked around the country with regular business travels to the UK and USA. Since 1979, my family and I live in New Zealand, where I have developed a deep appreciation for the environment and nature. I am very passionate to convert ideas into implementable actions, which I can now do without any commercial motives.
