Irene Rompa studied Psychology at VU University. Her love for sustainability led her to the US in the year after her graduation (2011), where she led the international expansion of Dutch reusable water bottle company Dopper.

After returning back home in 2015, she worked in the Dutch tech ecosystem in a wide variety of roles, leading accelerators, facilitating Dutch startups’ international expansions and organizing large innovation events. Until recently, she served as the Head of Communication at Quantum Delta NL, a public-private partnership that scales the Netherlands’ quantum technology ecosystem.

Currently, she’s a mediator and facilitates family constellations next to her work as an event host. In her spare time, Irene loves to go for long walks while listening to podcasts, is an avid kettle-bell trainer and is generally really interested in health and well-being. Hence she is, in her own words, incredibly excited to host our event on September 20th.
