Jayanshi Tripathi
Jayanshi Tripathi
Chairperson

Hi! I am Jayanshi, a third year student in Bachelor of Technical Computer Science. I joined the NPT board to complement my existing technical skill set with the communication-driven competency of negotiation. Having lived in three continents, I derive pleasure in exploring diverse backgrounds, cultures and the perspectives they shape. People- with their thousands of beliefs, opinions and emotions- intrigue me. In my role as the Chairperson, I want to learn about people and how to manage them.

Gustas Matijosius
Gustas Matijosius
Secretary

Hey guys! My name is Gustas, I study Business & IT at the University of Twente and I’m following the Entrepreneurship & Business Development honours track. I wanted to become more invested with Negotiations Project Twente soon after the first few negotiation sessions. I am quite curious about psychology and I get to explore the part it plays in negotiations first-hand. I have the role of a Secretary in the board and I have the freedom to define my own responsibilities within the board, in order to help the other members progress and use my experience with Startups to ensure NPT community growth!

Arjan Woolderink
Arjan Woolderink
Treasurer

Hey! My name is Arjan Woolderink, a master student of Business Administration at the University of Twente. My reason for joining the NPT board as a treasurer is because I would like to give back. Normally corporate negotiation training could cost in the thousands of euros and NPT provides this training to university students for free. My personal goal as a board member is to keep the cash flows in check, such that NPT remains a financial stable foundation and able to keep providing negotiation training to future students.

Vincent van Engers
Vincent van Engers
External Affairs

Hello, my name is Vincent van Engers. Over the past years, curiosity has driven me to pursue my interest in programming, psychology, business and public speaking. As a Business Information Technology student I continue on this path by building bridges between business and technology. There are few things as exhilarating as building towards something you believe in with a competent group of people. That is why I joined the NPT board. In my role as acquisition- and eventmanager, I am excited to learn, gather funds and strengthen our network and community.

Jonathan Nicklin
Jonathan Nicklin
PR-Communications

Hello, my name is Jonathan and I am a British industrial engineering and management bachelor student. I joined the negotiations project Twente as an opportunity to grow, and quickly became intrigued, invested and inspired. I am excited to collaborate with my colleagues for this upcoming year, and be able to develop myself in another dimension. Individually as part of my role, I will look to develop our brand and maintain the website and social media platforms.
