The goal? To enable organisations, and the individuals within it, to achieve the impact they intend.

Based in the Netherlands, Moniek began her career at PwC as a strategic risk analyst before joining the municipality of Amsterdam, where she was a driving force in building its integrity office from the ground up. That office became a reference point in the Netherlands. When the Dutch Ministry of Defence set out to develop their own, Moniek was called in to translate the Amsterdam experience into a defence context, helping establish its Central Organisation for Integrity (COID). It was here that she developed the integrity risk analysis methodology the COID still uses today, and which is now central to Governance & Integrity’s work.

During this time, she decided she wanted to pursue organisational development focused on integrity and became a partner at Governance & Integrity. With over fifteen years of experience, Moniek works across a wide range of sectors; monopoly of violence, judiciary, financial institutions, universities, and the public sector in the Netherlands and internationally.

Moniek also developed Governance & Integrity’s methodology for integrity risk profiling, aimed at senior leaders and officials. In Ukraine, she led the procurement risk analysis that was instrumental in establishing Lviv’s first Bureau of Integrity and Anti-corruption, and now she heads Governance & Integrity’s work in Belgium and the Caribbean, advising local governments on building their own integrity systems.
