Professional profile As an independent (HR) professional, I focus on:

- Interim (HR) Management: Filling temporarily HR Management positions; - Project Management HRM/HRD: leading or facilitating HRM and HRD-related projects; - HR advice: consultancy and improvements of companies from the HR Point of view; - Coaching & training: Facilitation of team- and individual development programs.

Firm HR understanding I have been employed in many different (managerial) HR functions at renowned (international) HR and business companies. This means I have a firm understanding of HR issues at operational, tactical and strategic levels. I have gained significant experience managing projects in the disciplines of performance management, restructuring & integration, personal development & training, leadership & team development and various other change related projects. Change- and result oriented I easily move between various sectors; I'm ultimately a no-nonsense 'profit-man' who is focused on results. I am in my element where change is needed; I easily bring teams together and I know how to push people in the right direction whilst keeping a strong focus on the task and objectives. Passion for team and business development I consider myself a generalist in my field and I have a passion for the development of individual professionals and teams. I adapt quickly and easily to any temporary employment, which allows me to swiftly provide effective results in the full width of the HRM field. In a new environment - helped by a healthy dose of humour – I bring a positive atmosphere to my (colleague and customer-) environment. Open minded and enthusiastic In addition to my depth of knowledge and experience, I distinguish myself due to my enthusiasm, my ability to form strong relationships and thus my ability to move things forward. My 'open mind' and 'can do attitude' ensure that I can easily communicate at all levels and provide excellent direction to all staff.
