IT Consultant & Business Development Manager
Netherlands Antilles
Experienced consultant in document process automation. EDP certified by Xplor international. I help organisations with any document related issues by advising them on document and communication strategies and by bringing new technology and implementing software solutions to automate their document processes. I was involved at projects from document intensive organisations in the Benelux and Germany and recently started a branch in the Caribbean area, based on Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles.
I am experienced in input- and outputmanagement, digital archiving, workflow and enterprise content management (ECM). I have a practical approach to technology and am able to implement new systems and manage the change process for IT and business users.
Some companies I worked for in the past are Ohra, Delta Lloyd, VGZ, ASR insurancegroup, PGGM, De Telegraaf, Fortis, de Belastingdienst, SNS Bank, Barclay Card.
Also very interested in technological developments on Curacao. As one of the leading islands in the Caribbean in internet and technology it is interesting to see how local companies use new technology to become more professional and offer new services. I report on these developments on my technology news blog and in my weekly radio item on the local radio station ParadiseFM.
