Lauren van der Heijden is CEO of YoungCapital, the go-to recruitment company for young talent in the Netherlands. Since taking the lead in early 2024, Lauren has been on a clear mission: to give every young person who wants to work a real chance to do so. Every day. Again and again. Because work connects people to society, to growth, and a shared future.
