About Simone Kolkman

Hi, great to see you here! I’m Simone Kolkman, and I’m passionate about the intersection of health, communication, and innovation. With a Master’s degree in Communication, Health & Life Sciences, I specialize in addressing complex societal challenges through strategic communication and change management. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I’ve learned how to connect people, ideas, and disciplines. I’m skilled at translating scientific or organizational complexity into clear, actionable strategies for diverse audiences. At De Arbodienst I work at the intersection of people and performance—balancing the bigger picture with a human-focused approach, and always with an eye for long-term impact. I thrive in a fast-growing, ever-evolving organization, where thinking outside the box, taking initiative, and navigating change are key. I thrive at the crossroads of strategy and execution—able to keep an eye on the bigger picture while diving into the details when needed. Whether it’s building bridges between healthcare professionals, researchers, and the public, or aligning teams around a shared vision, I bring a thoughtful, human-centered approach to every challenge. Always open to new connections, ideas, and opportunities—feel free to reach out!+31 (0)6 129 76 103 | simone-kolkman@hotmail.com
