Gerwin van der Meulen

Partner

I have been a partner at Decisio since 2007 and, together with Niels and Kees, I am a member of the management team. In addition to my management duties, I am responsible for a wide range of projects in areas such as economics, water, recreation and tourism. I also lead two internal teams focused on data analysis and evaluations and policy reviews. With data analysis (e.g. CBS Microdata), we are very active in the field of international knowledge workers, migrant workers and students, and issues relating to temporary housing or international education. I also lead several evaluations (laws, programmes, policies, covenants) or audit investigations.

And besides your work?

I live in Utrecht with my wife Marlies and daughter Isa. Marlies works as a data analyst in healthcare and Isa studies at VU University Amsterdam. Outside of work, I enjoy sports: tennis, running, cycling (road or mountain biking). I also regularly stay in the Belgian Ardennes. I like to spend my summer holidays in France or Italy, often camping.

Calling projects?

A number of projects that appeal to me include:

  • Feasibility study for Internationally Oriented Primary Education (IGBO) in the province of Fryslân
  • Interim evaluation of the Wadden Sea Region Agenda and Implementation Programme 2050
  • Impact analysis of the effects of cost increases for water safety (HWBP) on levies charged by regional water boards in The Netherlands
  • Impact analysis for the reduction of berthing of river cruise ships in Amsterdam
