Casper Benedict

Casper supports the team by analysing important societal and political developments, contributing valuable insights into how political decision-making affects our clients’ business operations.

His interest in the strategic role of rhetoric and communication in the political discourse grew deepened during his Master’s in International Relations at the University of Amsterdam. He actively follows (geo)political issues related to the Netherlands’ security and competitiveness through podcasts, newspapers, and other (social) media. Additionally, Casper has gained a year of experience at a consultancy firm that organised high-quality projects for prominent organisations such as ASML and KPMG. He has also witnessed firsthand at Brand New Day, a Dutch financial institution specialising in pension and investment products, how the (supplementary) pension sector heavily depends on the Dutch government (and vice versa).

By building on this knowledge and experience, Casper aims to gain insight into the practical dynamics between political institutions and the private sector during his internship at Hague. He views the world of corporate affairs in The Hague as an excellent opportunity to understand how effective collaboration between business and government can be achieved.
