Marit Zijlstra

Chairman

Hi everyone!

My name is Marit, and I’m excited to announce that I’m the Chairman of the EBF Board ‘26-’27.

Last year, I finished my bachelor’s in International Business. As I was still exploring in which direction I wanted to pursue my studies, I decided to take a gap year. During this time, I had the possibility to gain some hands-on experience in marketing, and travel through Thailand for six weeks.

After this year, I realised I wasn’t done gaining practical experience yet. Through my involvement in several committees at my student association and by joining the ESR Fall trip, I realized how much I enjoy being actively involved in student life. This made a board year feel like the perfect next challenge for me.

I’m looking forward to the upcoming lustrum year and hope to meet many of you during the upcoming EBF activities and events!
