Saskia Duursema:
"Two years ago, my Swedish partner and I made the decision to move to Stockholm with our two children. After living together in the centre of Amsterdam for 13 years, we felt it was time for a change and start a new adventure in Sweden. Leaving wonderful Amsterdam behind and starting over with a 10- and 12-year-old was quite a challenge, but we decided to go for it — and looking back now, I’m so glad we did.
A few months after our move, I joined the Dutch Chamber, and I was struck by how welcome I felt from the very beginning. It truly is a nice feeling to experience a sense of home while living abroad and meeting so many new and inspiring people. After two intense – yet wonderful – years, the time felt right to take on a new challenge. I’m therefore excited to begin this next chapter as Regional Director of Stockholm. I look forward to working with the team to organise inspiring corporate events and company visits, and to continue strengthening the Chamber’s role as a platform where people can connect, share experiences, build cross-border relationships and of course have fun!
I’m truly excited to be part of this journey and to contribute to supporting our Dutch community in Stockholm!"

"A bit about myself and my connection to Sweden: in 2020 I met my Swedish partner while living in New York. After spending a few years there together we moved back to Europe. For a while we travelled back and forth between Amsterdam and Stockholm, and last summer we decided to settle in Stockholm. It has been a new adventure getting to know the city, exploring Sweden, and learning more about the culture. As the colder months arrive, I look forward to enjoying some of my favorite winter activities like ice skating and skiing, now a bit closer to home. I currently work as a lawyer with an international focus within a global organization. Since moving to Stockholm, I love to connect with professionals here, exchange experiences, and learn more about working life in Sweden.
During the time I was travelling between Amsterdam and Stockholm, I met a board member of the Dutch Chamber who invited me to join some of the Chamber’s events. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the people I met. When I moved to Stockholm, I decided it would be a great opportunity to become more actively involved. I think it’s important to stay connected to the Dutch–Swedish community and to have a network of fellow Dutch people, especially when you’re new to a country.
As Regional Director, I look forward to contributing to the Dutch Chamber, hosting events, connecting people, and welcoming new members to the community. My goal is that others will feel just as welcome and connected as I did when I became part of the Dutch Chamber community. Looking forward to meeting many of you soon."
