Welcome to my personal website.

Please suit yourself and play some music while you scroll down my CV.
ALWAYS CRITICAL, LOOKING FOR CREATIVE SOLUTIONS.
BACKGROUND.
During my journey as a professional, I learned to understand the customer's needs and to put technically complex challenges on paper in a structured way. I've helped clients develop and implement their online and offline propositions with meaningful work, creating digital and cultural currency while trying to get the best out of the team. All this is based on my previous endeavors in supervising creative and technically complex projects in which starting, planning, and delivering high-quality experiences, projects, and programs has been my responsibility.

LANGUAGES.
Fluent.
Native.
Average.
Pocito.
I’m an intuitive project manager who learned by doing, helping clients elaborate their digital assets to a next level. Straightforward as the Dutch would say and do not take “no” for an answer unless the counteroffer is equally or better. Loves to work with inspiring and hard working people. Strives for perfection but embraces imperfection when it’s needed.
Skills and Tools.
Below you can find a glimpse of my skills as a professional. BPM is all about business process management and efficiency improvement, while project management is more evident in the planning and monitoring of (digital) processes. Below that you'll find a pinch of the various tools I've worked with many times. Want to know more about this section? I would be pleased to explain my skills on the basis of concrete examples and cases.
