Popke Rein Munniksma’s Summary

I have a passion for new and uncharted areas, it stimulates my creativity and innovative ideation. I am more a generalist than a specialist which helps me to bridge different areas of expertise and to match ideas and opportunities in various settings.

Challenges make me tick, this is why I rise to the occasion in start up phases or crisis situations.

Building bridges between people of different disciplines and inspire them to get most out of themselves especially in challenging times, makes that I am comfortable in a leading position, hierarchical or in a thought leadership role.

Strenghts according to Gallups Strengthsfinder: Ideation, Input, Intellect, Relator, Command.

Popke Rein Munniksma’s Experience

Business Line Manager / Intrapreneur

ABN AMRO Dialogues Incubator

(Public Company; ABN; Banking industry)

January 2009 — Present (11 months)

As an intrapreneur I focus on innovation and creativity to transform an initiative called “Rationalizer” into a profitable venture. Core to this project is research and development of emotion sensing from a business, scientifical and technological point of view. At the same time I scout business opportunities for ABN AMRO Dialogues Incubator. I develop these opportunities from ideas to business cases to new ventures.
Head of 3D Experience

ABN AMRO

(Public Company; ABN; Banking industry)

August 2007 — January 2009 (1 year 6 months)

As head of ABN AMRO’s 3D Experience team my primary focus is creating new business opportunities for ABN AMRO on 3D virtual worlds and making the organisation ready to adopt and adapt to this new channel.

Second Life started in 2006 the first major hype for Virtual Worlds as a new platform. 2007 brought the inflated expectations of Second Life and the disillusionment of overrated business opportunities.

What still remains is the platform of Virtual Worlds with the potential to become a new, immersive way of communicating.

I am currently researching the possibilities, trends and realistic expectations for the 3D, social platforms. Distilling trend from hype and potential from hopeful entrepreneurial opportunism.
