About

Janny Kok is a household name in international maritime circles, particularly in special interest publications about anything maritime related issues. I’d also know a thing or two about urban planning, architecture, industrial design, and human interest stories, and love to write about these topics. Another pleasure is acting as co-host on congresses.

Quote Janny: “I am a result-driven professional with 40+ years of comprehensive experience in journalism, including that for international online publications, dailies, special interest papers, production for radio and TV. Communication skills as tools for use as co-host at conferences, but for use as a teacher in individual speech support (Dutch/English UK).”
