Maria Renske "Marietje" Schaake (Dutch pronunciation: [maːˈritɕə ˈsxaːkə]; born 28 October 1978) is a Dutch politician who served as Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from the Netherlands between 2009 and 2019. She is a member of Democrats 66, part of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party.[1]

Schaake has been named international director of policy at Stanford's Cyber Policy Center, as well as an International Policy Fellow at the University’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence.[2]

At the CyberPeace Institute (CPI) she takes the role of president. CPI seeks to reduce the harms of escalating conflict in cyberspace, perform collective analysis of cyberattacks with the aim of informing the public, supporting vulnerable communities, and promoting responsible behavior, norms and respect for international law.[3]

She writes a column for the Financial Times[4] and the Dutch NRC newspaper’s economic section twice a month.[5]

The Wall Street Journal called her "Europe's most wired politician",[6] while CNN called her a "rising Dutch star" who makes an increasingly rare "passionate and public case for liberalism and globalization".[7] She was selected as one of the "Politico 28" in 2017. During her last months in office in 2019, Politico also called her one of the 40 MEP's who mattered in 2014–2019.[8] According to Politico, Schaake is the "ultimate digital MEP" whose name has been floated as a potential candidate for the foreign ministry".[9] The magazine also called her a "lead MEP on cybersecurity".[10] In 2017 she was invited as a 'civic leader' to address the Obama Foundation summit.[11] She publishes op-eds in the Financial Times,[12] The Guardian[13] and Bloomberg.[14]
