Sanne is the business director at Via Berlin, where she leads strategy, development, and new partnerships at the intersection of art, science, and society. She holds a degree in economics and brings a rare combination of academic grounding (including experience as a junior lecturer) and entrepreneurial practice, having founded three businesses across different sectors and industries. Sanne is drawn to work that refuses easy categorisation. At Via Berlin, she develops the infrastructure that allows art-based research to operate at scale: from funding strategy and institutional partnerships to new research initiatives and commercial development. Her international background and experience across academia, business, and the arts give her an instinct for finding unexpected connections — between disciplines, between sectors, and between the questions science asks and the conditions art creates to answer them.
