Sharda Tewari (Urban Planning, University of Amsterdam) has been working at De Ruijter Strategy since 2022. With her broad interest and multidisciplinary background, Sharda is always on the look for the newest developments and tendencies in society and identifies their long-term effects.
Before Sharda joined De Ruijter Strategy, she had been working in the field of urban development for almost 20 years. She worked for municipalities, housing associations, property managements, as project manager, proces manager, staff member and advisor. In this way, she learned the intricacies of project management and advisory and developed a rather broad knowledge on the public and semi-public industry.
“The complexity of the future requires multidimensional thinking, anticipating and acting.”

She wraps her insights on the present and the future into engaging stories, both on paper and by visuals. Even throughout her studies, she guided people through the future as guide in the House of the Future in Amsterdam. Sharda notes that the traditional paradigms in society are fading and moving: in the ‘bèta’-society new ideas and concepts are being tested. For Sharda, the future is multidimensional, because several future images always occur simultaneously.
At De Ruijter Strategy, Sharda has served a wide range of clients, such as BDO, banijay Benelux, WSW, SVn, Emergis and several ministries and municapalities. Her work varies from trend watching and presenting, to facilitating.
