Roelof Schuitema

Could you tell us something about your background, your education and previous work experience?
After my studies in Applied Physics in Groningen, I worked for Teamwork Technology on the AWS. Followed by fundamental research in the field of solar cells at the Delft University of Technology.

Since the end of 2000 I have been working in the field of renewable energy in the built environment. Until 2008 with ECN, I worked from 2008 to 2009 as freelance consultant, in early 2009 I joined Teamwork Technology.
I am multi-disciplinary and interested in energy saving and renewable generation.

What made you choose Teamwork Technology?
My search for an internship in the field of renewable energy led me to Teamwork Technology in 1997,  after which we were never really apart. In the same way that a friendship grows instead of it being a rational choice, Teamwork Technology has become ‘my company’.

What motivates you in your work?
Creativity, my colleagues, sustainability, enterpreneurship and a relevant goal to work for.

Where do you think the strength of Teamwork Technology lies?
Perseverance, creativity and enterpreneurship of the people.

What do you do besides work?
Running, dancing tango, travelling, making clothes and renovating our garden shed. I live together with my partner in Amsterdam.
