Willem is a half-British, half-Dutch journalism fanatic who has moved back and forth between London and NYC several times since the end of grad school at NYU, but thanks to Covid-19 he no longer has the British Airways status to prove it. He joined his high school newspaper at 16, around the same time he organized his first ticketed event, and he's hopeful that this long standing experience in both journalism and event-organizing will help him navigate his new role over the next few months. He's previously worked as a broadcaster at a slew of alphabet soup news organizations including CBS, BBC, CNBC and most recently NBC, and over the years has reported and written for the Los Angeles Times, Financial Times, Businessweek and Billboard, covering a variety of topics, from Alaskan fishing safety to African music streaming.
