| Profiel |
I am a management professional in business management, operations management and organisational development. Most of my expertise was acquired in the IT-industry, mainly with Digital Equipment Corporation, later Compaq computers.
Due to mobility restrictions I now primarily work online/off site, i.e. I support my clients interactively, but from my home location, using all appropriate features of modern technology.
This is reflected in the specialities outlined below.
