How Hanne Jesca is building a better working world
“I am a board member of Topsport Community, a foundation started by Olympian gold medalist Pieter van den Hoogenband, to support connectivity between sport, business science and culture. In addition, I am board member of Right to Play, a foundation founded by Olympian gold medalist John Olaf Koss to use sport and play to educate and empower children and youth to overcome the effects of poverty, conflict, and disease in disadvantaged communities.
Together with my husband, I run a small boutique hotel in Tulum, Mexico, providing a range of jobs to the local community and helping them to learn English.”
