Rotterdam Area, Netherlands
In mijn carrière tot nu toe heb ik mij toegelegd op internet consultancy en projectmanagement. In die rollen heb ik mij beziggehouden met het ontwikkelen van digitale producten en online diensten voor met name grote nationale mediabedrijven.
Ik ben inhoudelijk betrokken geweest bij het gehele traject van productontwikkeling, vanaf de strategische positiebepaling en conceptontwikkeling tot en met de bouw en implementatie en commerciële lancering.
In het productontwikkelproces heb ik verschillende rollen gehad waarbij ik kleine slagvaardige teams heb aangestuurd bij het ontwikkelen van een verscheidenheid aan softwareproducten.
Sinds januari 2007 werk ik op freelance basis als internet consultant en projectmanager.
Onder de naam Great Little Company werk ik samen met andere free-lance professionals en realiseer ik projecten op het gebied van online concept- en productontwikkeling.

My career up till now has primarily focused on translating business needs into project deliverables for on-line products and services, applying my creativity and problem solving skills in concept development and project management.
I have supported the development of a wide variety of software applications and online services for mainly Dutch organisations – working with designers and developers both at the early stages of requirements analysis and conceptual design, through to prototypes and fully implemented systems, acting at all levels of the organization as intermediary between involved parties like customers, the management team, business departments and system suppliers.
