Arie Koops is an MfN-registered mediator and member of the in-house mediation pool at VU Amsterdam. He also serves as director of VU Sports Centre. Like the other internal mediators, he is required to keep these activities separate from his mediation work.
“I stand for movement—literally and figuratively. I come from elite sports, where many different interests are at play. As in sports, the ultimate goal here is for the parties to achieve something together.”
