After being born in Costa Rica and raised with dual cultures in the city of Gouda (Netherlands), Martin started studying Business Administration at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. While studying Business Administration there was one course called ‘Leadership, Sustainability & Governance’ which motivated him to initiate the master program Global Business & Sustainability.
During this master, he completed courses such as Global Business Strategies, Sustainability and Behavioral ethics, Communicating Sustainability and wrote his thesis about sustainability within the apparel sector. Next to his studies, he did a few, sustainability-related, internships at both smaller and larger organizations such as PostNL, Project Cece, Ahold Delhaize, and Impact Hub San José. As a consultant at TheRockGroup, he is continuing his passion for contributing to a more sustainable and fair economy.
Extracurricular activities
Playing baseball is another passion of his. In 2017 his team became champions of The Netherlands below 21. Moreover, he has been passionate about teaching and coaching. After tutoring the boy next door and 2nd-year Business Administration students, he will continue doing this at TheRockGroup as well. For instance, by coaching a team during the SDG traineeship.
