ABOUT.

 

I'm Anneloes Leijssen, a strategist and storyteller, working at the intersection of advocacy, social impact and art. From building awareness, generating momentum, shaping policy  to collaborating across sectors.

​​​​

I’ve been living and working in Southeast Asia for the past eight years, partnering with organizations across the fields of culture, art, government, and sustainability. 

 

I believe in clear messaging, thoughtful collaboration, and the role of culture as a catalyst for connection and change.​​

​

Working across cultures has taught me that diverse perspectives are a strength that leads to better ideas and more meaningful outcomes. Empathy and humanity are central to how I approach my work.

​

I am the co-founder of two large initiatives; Open Studios Penang, Malaysia’s largest open studios art event, and Lean In Penang, a community-driven platform helping women to achieve their ambitions.​

​​

​I hold a Bachelor's in Communication Sciences and a Master's in Popular Culture and Media Entertainment from the University of Amsterdam. To deepen my perspective on media, gender, and cultural ​narratives, I specialized in converging media, and women in media at the University of Copenhagen.

​

I explored how stories shape perception, identity, and influence in today’s world.
