Skills

My business relations appreciate me as a result driven self starter, creative, able and persevering in finding solutions.
Analysing sharply, I perceive the heart of a problem rapidly most of the time, including its related stakeholders and issues. This is of value, since I regularly work in project related jobs.
I'm perfectly capable of working on my own, but usually operate in a team setting, normally in a managing and/or coaching role.
I am judged to be reliable, communicating clearly and directly, and I'm interested in others and their motivations.

My core disciplines are (general) management, marketing, business development, sales (B2B) and communication. Usually this involves the challenge of starting or improving something!
Finally, I'm good in motivating others for specific goals (as long as I believe in them myself), and I have positive experience with personal coaching and conflict mediation.
