Josine Bakkes is known for being a highly passionate, open-minded and hands-on marketing professional, project developer, social butterfly and connector of dots. Driven by her passion for social innovation and growing more purpose-driven educational platforms and initiatives, she acts cross industries as marketing consultant, community builder, program manager and project coordinator.

In 2017, Josine exchanged her life in Amsterdam for Salzburg to work with Red Bull on the scaling of both their social impact incubation platforms (Red Bull Amaphiko & Red Bull Basement). She currently works from Salzburg, Vienna and Amsterdam as freelance marketing consultant for various initiatives (e.g. Audvice, a Salzburgian based startup-up providing innovative solutions to learning through user-generated podcasts), as project coordinator of Fuckup Nights Salzburg (a community of entrepreneurs, pioneers and innovators who share stories on business failure and celebrate the learnings) and she is leading the launch of the Circle of Intrapreneurs chapter in Amsterdam (a movement designed to inspire, guide, develop & deliver purpose-driven business ideas from social intrapreneurs inside corporate organisations globally).

Josine believes in business as a force for good, is inspired by companies embracing positive change and she aims to continue working with strong- willed purpose driven businesses and people, inside and outside of corporate environments.
