About Lena

I'm a labour economist and speaker based in Amsterdam. I study the gap between how we've designed work and how humans actually thrive — and I make the case, in rooms that need to hear it, that we can close that gap by design.

Frequently asked questions

  • What speaking formats can you do?

    I'm available for keynotes, panel discussions, and in-conversation formats. Keynotes typically run between 20 and 45 minutes. I'm equally comfortable as a solo speaker or alongside other voices, and happy to include audience Q&A where the programme allows.

  • Can the talk be tailored to our event?

    Yes — and this is standard practice, not an extra. Before every engagement I have a briefing call with you to understand the audience, the programme context, and what you need the room to leave thinking or feeling. No two talks are identical.

  • Do you speak internationally?

    Framer is a modern website builder that combines design and development in one tool. It’s fast, easy to use, and perfect for entrepreneurs and small businesses that want to launch a great-looking site without a massive price tag.

  • How far in advance should we book?

    For large conferences, six to twelve months ahead is recommended. For smaller events and corporate engagements, two to three months is usually sufficient. It's always worth reaching out early — availability goes quickly around key conference seasons.

  • How do fees work?

    Fees vary depending on the format, length, and location of the engagement. Get in touch with the details of your event and I'll come back to you promptly with a quote.
