My name is Kristian van Drimmelen. After graduating in 2008 I started at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research TNO. As a research scientist on Network Enabled Capabilities and Effect Based Operations I developed a particular interest in innovative technologies that support the military in the field. While leading a four-year research program from 2009 to 2012 I pushed my team to translate their theoretical research results into practical military solutions. After the research program I kept motivating them in my role as business developer and by doing so helping innovative national and international technology companies in their support to the military. And that is exactly what I keep doing with Three Miles.

Besides my background in the field of defence, an international work environment has always been part of my career. I have lived and worked in Germany - both in Munich and Hamburg - and Italy. Also, I have led several projects with consortia of international partners. And as a business developer I have worked frequently in Turkey.
