Project Manager & Business Consultant

Processes, Applications and Supply Chain integration

I am an organizer and doer for whom production and distribution processes

have no secrets and whom gets the best out of people and resources for

achieving solutions that make a difference.

As a trailblazer and bridge builder I have a broad view on the design of

business processes and use of information systems.

In my approach the organization and its environment, thinking in

opportunities and possibilities, and enhancing cooperation and support

between companies come first. I am not easily distracted by difficult

conditions, time constraints or opposition. I respect the interests of

stakeholders and I take responsibility for choices made.

I give organizations and people the space for personal initiatives by involving

them and granting them a say, by listening actively and advising but above

all by encouraging them to break through fixed habits.

Through experience I learned that ‘only’ technology & software is not

making an organization happy. A good sparring partner who needs only a

few words and knows how to add value does the trick.

I am that person who actively listens, understands the technology and the

process, draws up specifications, can think along with employees and

partners, can guide projects, is able to implement changes and goes for

strengthening relationships.

But also sits down behind the buttons if needed and gives direction by

simply doing things that need to be done from research, definition,

specification, design to delivery and support.

My strength – experience

Increase understanding of business processes, information housekeeping and

application landscapes,

Assess and improve purchase, sales and supply chain processes,

Translate challenging issues into workable solutions,

Bring concepts from idea to realization,

Setup electronic data exchange and strengthen cooperation between companies,

Advice on the application of technological developments,

Initiate and coordinate ERP and Supply Chain improvement projects,

Identify opportunities and threats in the market and give direction to the changes

companies have to go through,

Execute feasibility studies and draft blueprints.
