About Suse van Kleef

After a very intensive period as a correspondent in London (Brexit!) for, among others, NOS and Algemeen Dagblad, Suse van Kleef (1986) has been based in the Netherlands again since 2021. She has made a notable ‘switch’ in her career and is now focusing primarily on sports in the broadest sense of the word.

In the spring of 2021, she made her debut as the first female football reporter for the radio program Langs de Lijn. She can be heard weekly on the radio in this role. Additionally, she presents the evening edition of this program (usually on Fridays).

In the summer of 2021, she was the host of the program RadiOlympia in connection with the Olympic Games in Tokyo, and then she traveled to Japan herself, where she was the face of the Paralympic Games for NOS television. In the summer of 2022, she presented for NOS Studio England, covering the European Football Championship. And in July and August 2023, she was active in the same role for NOS television as the presenter of the World Cup.

Suse is a familiar guest on TV talk shows, such as Jinek, Op1, and Khalid and Sophie. Naturally, when it comes to sports, but certainly also about her old loves: the United Kingdom, Brexit, and the British royals.

She combines her journalistic work with chairing events and leading discussions. Key concepts in her performance are: very well-prepared, empathetic, quick-witted, and she works with humor.

Suse is very broadly oriented. She regularly works in a B-to-B environment. Her fluent English is often an important USP.

Suse van Kleef began her career as an intern at NOS op 3 during her Journalism studies (Utrecht). After graduating, she continued her career there as a reporter and editor. In 2016, she moved to London to become a multimedia correspondent. During her studies, she co-authored the interview collection ‘Justice is Human Work’, featuring a wide range of Dutch judges. In 2018, her second book was published: ‘Tim Visser, Flying Dutchman in Scotland’, the biography of the best Dutch rugby player ever. Her interest in sports began at a young age: she played for the Dutch national football team under 17 and under 19.
