Meet our 2026 Keynote speaker: Anouk van Maanen on being open to change in your career

Meet Anouk van Maanen, Principal of Digital Transformation at Netcompany. Anouk brings over a decade of experience in digital transformation and human-centered innovation. Her keynote takes us on a personal journey from a “perfect-on-paper” first job to a career shaped by unexpected turns, uncertainty, and growth. Anouk shows that not having all the answers early on is not a setback but an opportunity, offering a refreshing perspective that will leave you feeling confident, motivated, and open to wherever your path might lead.

Why HerFuture and why this event?

HerFuture was built by women in tech, for women in tech, because the numbers still don't lie: Women make up less than 30% of the tech workforce, and we're not waiting 134 years to fix that. Founded by two sisters who've been building since childhood, HerFuture is a community, platform, and app on a mission to make STEM careers more accessible, more visible, and more exciting for women at every stage — from students taking their first steps to professionals ready to lead. With 6,000+ members, events across the Netherlands, and partnerships with Europe's top tech employers, we create the connections and confidence that move careers forward. The Grand Summit is everything we stand for, in one evening.
