Arno Bouma
Operations Manager
Arno is the Operations Manager at Yunus Environment Hub. He oversees operations and HR while ensuring that the organisation’s internal controls run seamlessly. His goal is to create the structure and stability that allow YEH’s global team to focus on driving environmental and social impact.
After studying sociology and completing a master’s in organizational science in Amsterdam, Arno found his first passion in co-founding cultural venues. With a hands-on, learning-by-doing approach, he took on responsibility for operations and finance, becoming the reliable backbone of each initiative.
When he later moved to Berlin, Arno’s focus expanded from cultural management to social inclusion. As a board member of a local cultural association, he led projects supporting underrepresented groups by improving their access to space and opportunities.
Motivated to contribute more directly to environmental challenges, Arno specialized in operations management for NGOs – most recently in the field of circular economy. Today at YEH, he continues to build on this environmental mission while exploring the dynamic world of social business.
Outside of work, Arno enjoys long walks with his dog, experimenting in the kitchen, traveling to experience new cultures, and occasionally revisiting his record collection.
