Tom Rovers’s Summary

At Sparked I work on projects and solutions that will shape the future of work. I help organizations to improve their internal and external communication, this allows them to:

- Collaborate more efficiently
- Increase productivity
- Reach the right people

I do so by delivering out-of-the-box virtual offices that vastly improve internal communication (sparkedonline.nl) and by consulting on Social Media and Co Creation strategies.

I am very passionate about entrepreneurship, because I believe it is an important catalyst for change and innovation. Through my project Tom & Thomas (tomenthomas.nl) I connect with young entrepreneurs who share this passion.
