I am an interim, project-, and training professional with a logistics and supply chain background and over 25 years of (international) hands-on experience in sales, operations and general management. In the past I have worked mostly for providers of logistics services. Recent assignments have however broadened my experience to also include retail, healthcare and tourism. It has reconfirmed my belief that insights from one industry can provide a valuable fresh perspective to the other.
My approach is down-to-earth, hands-on and collaborative. I have a passion for delivering the client promise. Based on our joint understanding of what you want to achieve, we together define the best approach, and how I can most effectively support you. We agree budget and targets, regularly review progress, and measure the results. Finally, we arrange handing back to your organisation, guiding others where needed.
Interim Solutions
Sometimes you may lack the knowledge, experience or bandwidth to get things done. You may want to achieve something special or make change happen. You need to speed up or can benefit from independent help. Maybe you are simply faced with a temporary gap in your team.
In such cases I can support your organisation for an interim period, based on a specific assignment. This can be full-time or part-time depending on your needs. Off-site or anywhere on-site as needed.
Project & Program
Management
Many organisations have a need for change, wish to implement new business or ways of working, or may simply require seamless programs execution. I have managed many projects both locally and internationally, using a pragmatic approach based on proven project management principles. I typically provide structure and guidance in complex situations, recognising the needs of all stakeholders. Always balancing time, budget and resources.
Company Training
Focused training can help improve company results. Using my formal degree in vocational training, I have designed, implemented and delivered learning academy structures, and many online and face-to-face training programs across the world. Participants consistently praise my industry knowlege and the active learning experience. Specifically, I offer unique tailor made training propositions for client centricity and (consultative) selling of logistics services.
Consulting
Careful, independent analysis, or neutral facilitation can make the difference. Understanding a situation, determining the best way forward, and achieving the desired results.
I have supported many times on better understanding complexity, dependencies, and developing creative ideas for improvement. I use an analytical mindset rooted in a university degree in supply chain and logistics. I am a curious person and am genuinely interested in the way things work.
