About Marianne Betten

I quickly identify the core of a story and pinpoint the underlying problem. I am a creative problem solver and a skilled dealmaker. I enjoy working on tangible area developments and perform best in assignments where I can build something from the ground up.

In short

I am highly experienced in integrated urban development and all that it entails, including procedures, participation processes, business cases, and related fields such as energy, mobility, ecology, economics, and the social domain. I combine policy experience and strategic insight with financial expertise to deliver policy recommendations that are both practical and easy to implement.

I have over 30 years of experience in policy development and programme implementation at the national government level.

I was one of the founders of the Housing and Mobility Programme, through which the national government allocated approximately €10–12 billion to 17 large-scale NOVEX housing development areas and more than 100 acceleration locations. My approach is results-oriented, with a strong focus on getting things done and achieving breakthroughs when needed.

And outside working hours? You’ll often find me on my bike—clearing my head and generating new ideas along the way.
