Experience
I have been active in the business community for over thirty years, building up experience throughout that period in both optimising processes and coaching and guiding teams.
Now I want to use all that experience to serve your company. As an outsider, I bring a fresh perspective and the necessary distance, which means I often see things that you no longer notice. I am not encumbered by administrative tasks or other responsibilities, so I can focus on the essentials.
People manager
As a people manager through and through, I never lose sight of the human aspect. On the contrary, I have no doubt that every major change is more likely to succeed if everyone is on board. I have led many teams personally during my career – ranging from five to over one hundred members – and so I am very well aware of the challenges you face in that area. My great strength is that I can motivate people. What is more, I have considerable experience in consultations and negotiations with trade union delegations.
No-nonsense approach
I naturally have an open mind. I walk through the doors of every new company without prejudice. My work is always transparent; I communicate freely and frankly and take a no-nonsense approach, even if there is a less pleasant, sometimes even painful message to convey. If you know how to do that right, and you know what you are talking about, you can normally count on a lot of understanding and appreciation.
Tailored service
It goes without saying that the focus is on you and your company. I don’t turn up with ready-made, one-size-fits-all solutions: instead I seek the solutions that best suit the culture and aims of your organisation. Right from the start, we make clear agreements about the route to take and the intended end result.
Added value
So when am I satisfied? When I know that I have been able to make a genuine contribution to your company’s wellbeing, in terms of either your financial situation or your employees. It is only once we have considered all the possibilities together, drawn up the best plan imaginable, found the best solution and put it into practice that I can leave the company with a sense of achievement.
I was responsible for all service-related matters in the Benelux region, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, as well as all contract negotiations and service level agreements with subcontractors.
