Greener Tech can also be appealing and fun. I’m really excited to see how CTL is turning positive impact into commercial and social value. I lead the commercial department for this great industry innovation, which means I connect to B2B tech users and their suppliers. Connect to me for questions on how the tech you use can be more aligned with your values - and why that is a smart thing to do.

I grew up in South Africa and Ghana and have seen what opportunities the African continent brings. I put this experience to use in ensuring that our supply chain delivers the quality of service we promise our customers.

After almost 20 years in telecoms, specializing in Managed WAN, LAN, Mobility, SaaS, and IoT, I've ventured into a new field.

Joining Closing the Loop is really closing the loop for me in bringing together my passion for technology in a commercial environment and making an impact today that makes sense to my children.

Leon Boshuizen
Having worked in the telecommunications industry since 2006, some people refer to me being a 'telco dinosaur' where I prefer the term experienced. I want to use this experience at Closing the Loop to show the industry that profit, and purpose can go hand in hand. Our 'One for One' service has a clear positive impact on people and planet, while providing clear commercial benefits.
Stephanie Mendonça
Having previously worked at a well-known Greentech NGO I saw firsthand the negative impact of mismanaged waste. Closing the Loop is a pioneer in waste compensation and has the strategy of the customer at heart. As Business Development Manager I am your point of contact for when your company is ready to take its first steps towards circular consumption.
Wiske Hermans
CTL found a pragmatic way to create social, environmental, and economic impact, as soon as today. By not focusing on the problem, but rather on solutions, and acting on them. I can help both existing and new clients to implement, market and communicate green tech CSR ambitions. Connect to me if you'd like to find out we could compliment your companies’ values.
Griffin Daly
My previous work in sustainable construction practices led me to pursue sustainability as a direct actor and not just as an end user. Together with Closing the Loop I will work with our suppliers and partners in developing countries to compensate waste for our global clients IT devices. You can reach out to me if you are interested in becoming a supplier for us.

As a recently graduated student in Communication and Media, I am eager to put all the theory I learnt during my bachelor into practice. And what better place to do so than in CTL? CTL’s mission to make electronics waste-neutral perfectly resonates with my desire to make the world a better place, simultaneously taking care of the environment and the local communities where phones are recycled.

With my Bachelor's degree in Economics in hand, I am eager to apply my knowledge effectively. Closing the Loop initially caught my attention because it operates as a commercial company while also focusing on serving a greater good. As an Operations and Logistics intern, I am especially enthusiastic about gaining insight into intercontinental processes and collaborating with our international partners.
