Marleen van de Kerkhof studied systems engineering at Delft University of Technology, at which time she started working on the development of the first hyperloop. Intrigued by innovation and transport, she now enjoys making an impact on mobility and sustainability as international affairs manager at the technology firm Dual Inventive and as managing director of the climate tech start up The Decarbonisation Company. She has a firm belief in rail as the future of sustainable mobility, so she loves using the latest digital technologies to make working on the railway infrastructure even more sustainable and efficient. Appointed as the Rail Ambassador in the Netherlands, she finds it of great importance to inspire the new generation with the green and innovative character of the railway system. Because rail is the future of transport, and youth is the future of rail!
