I frequently worked with Joost in my capacity as an MEP dealing with financial services regulation. Joost was always on top of the detail with complex financial issues, and able to see the wood from the trees. He was easily contactable, straightforward and always professional.
Anneliese Dodds MP – former Member of the European Parliament
Joost's knowledge of the financial sector and the political and administrative aspects of how it is governed in Europe is second to none. His curiosity and energy in discussing research topics and themes with our research team is extremely impressive. I would work again with Joost in a heartbeat.
