I am Marlien Sneller, Consultant Sustainable Innovation and Transition at TNO Vector. I contribute to realizing the energy and heat transition, particularly in the built environment. Drawing on my background as a mathematician, I apply my analytical thinking skills to understand complex innovation and transition issues and translate them into concrete courses of action for clients.
My mission is to contribute to a sustainable living environment: an environment in which we can live, work, and thrive in a healthy, future-proof manner, with an eye to future generations. In my work, I focus on projects that contribute to societal transitions, with major focus on the energy and heat transition in the built environment.
Depending on the project, I can take a different role. As a project leader, I ensure structure, overview, and progress. Bringing coherence and clarity comes naturally to me. In doing so, I create space for experts to delve into the substantive depth. At the same time, I maintain close contact with clients so that we jointly steer towards relevant outcomes and maximum project impact.
Alternatively, I work as a consultant on the substantive issue itself. I see myself as the one putting the puzzle together: the client has a complex issue, and together with TNO colleagues with substantive expertise, we develop a suitable solution. My added value lies in determining which puzzle pieces are which process is suitable to develop these. Then, we bring the puzzle pieces together to form a coherent and usable answer for the client.
