Experienced & result-driven
Are you looking for an expierenced, result-driven interim change & communication professional?
I help organizations and people to strengthen their communication. Organizations by improving their processes and tools; people by improving their personal communication. Result: a better and smoother cooperation and understanding in the organization, that will lead to achieve individual, team and organizational targets.
I use a three step approach:
- Identifying your communication need
- Making a plan what to do
- Organizing the implementation
I am available as interim manager or senior advisor.
My experience lies in formulating communication strategy, translating this into tactical and operational targets, and to successfully combine this approach with a hands-on, open and result driven mentality. I feel at home in dynamic organizations and I am used to working within a national and international environment across all levels of the organization, up to executive board level. I excel in a role where I am expected to drive change, keep a helicopter view, and to connect people and processes.
My strengths are the ability to combine a senior analytical and strategic approach with a hands-on mentality, to move people towards a shared goal and to achieve results based on agreed targets. I have excellent communication skills and have knowledge of change, corporate, internal and marketing communication. Execution of my work is based on targets, commitment and involvement of stakeholders inside and outside the team, department or organization.
I have a sound background in communication, change, organization, strategy and coaching. Proven in practice and founded on theory. I can help people and organizations to strengthen their communication, both efficiently and effectively. Thus stimulating organizational development through communication development.
I am able to think strategically and to work with other disciplines within the organization and connect them with communication. In my past roles I have successfully collaborated with Finance, Manufacturing, HR, Business Development, Legal/Compliance, IT, Procurement, Branding/Marketing/Sales.
