Welcome our new Business Director, Mascha Wismans

We are excited to welcome our new Business Director, Mascha Wismans, and she’s here to share her journey, vision, and goals for the future of the NFCC. Here’s what Mascha has to say:

"As long as I can remember, I was interested in French culture and the beautiful language. So, when I was 18, I decided to go to France to work here and start learning the language. A few years later, after obtaining my business degree in the Netherlands and an internship in Paris, I decided to pursue my Master’s at Sciences Po. After 10 years of experience in international diplomacy, I created my own consultancy business in 2018. Today I am looking forward to using my past experiences to contribute to the further development of French-Dutch business relations as Business Director of the NFCC.

I’m excited to support Dutch companies and organizations with valuable services to help them achieve even greater success in France. Additionally, I am eager to strengthen French-Dutch business relations alongside the dynamic operational team, the NFCC Board, our growing Member community, and dedicated partner organizations.

This year, 2025, is the year of economic collaboration between the Netherlands and France. In my view, a great occasion to create new business opportunities for our members and to build further on the first successful 5 years of existence of the NFCC.

Staying informed in a rapidly evolving business environment is vital. I find the most inspiration through direct conversations with company representatives and government officials, listening to their challenges and exchanging ideas about opportunities. I look forward to hearing your story, and to connecting, collaborating, and exploring ways to achieve shared success."
