The jobtitles that were given to me are Innovator, Business Consultant, Coach, (Management-, Business Consultant, (Change-, Team-, Project-, Program-) Manager.
I love working & started off working next to school when I was 15 years old. My first payed job was at a cheese store and my next job was in the catering business where I had my own artists bar in the local theatre.
After a few years of study I started my first fulltime job in Technology Services in a hospital. I worked for different media giants (online newspapers, publishers & internet companies) in leadership positions, while studying at night. My focus then was innovation through Technology & People/ Business. Of course I innovated personal along the way.
Soon I changed my focus to People/ Business changes with Technology as a supporting proces and Sustainability in Business. I mean Sustainability in the broadest sense (diversity, talentmanagement, co2 reduction, waste).
Of course I always combined my work with studying. I also owned a start-up (innovative software-analyze product & services) & was an entrepreneur (advisor) for a few years.
I worked for all kinds of small & large companies ( Government, Farmacie business, Global Data Center, Financial/ Mortgage services, Social Housing Cooperations, Banks, Retail, University & Higher education a.o.
I developed vision and strategy together with the board and I developed different innovating products and services with strategic management. My ideas are always aligned with current problems and future innovations.
I am the same person when I am not “working” :
I like to sport (rowing, boxing, fitness, cardio training, spinning), to study/ to innovate myself, being creative (painting, music, video), spending time with my dog (Lagotto Romagnolo) and family & friends.
