A Bit About Me
Hans Lodders (56) was born in Wassenaar-NL. Before anything, he is a proud father of two gorgeous daughters, both in their path to discover how to make a positive impact in a world in crises. Surrounded by the love of his family and long lasting friendships, he is an inspiring exemple of the human connection power.

As a professional, Hans has a background in Business Administration and Innovation and a Master’s degree in Media and Innovation (2018). As an independent consultant and project manager, governments and organizations frequently ask him to supervise sector-wide innovations, whereby various stakeholders work together to set up new organizations and develop innovative services. He is also a business coach for students as well as starting and social entrepreneurs. Until now, he has worked on almost 50 projects during his 25-year career.

All this experience is now at QXote service, as he moved to Alentejo, in Portugal, and, together with his wife, Sunamita, started the dream of a new company.
