“I have international work experience and have led various management teams. With over 20 years of corporate experience, I can look back on a high degree of professionalism in the areas of processes, reporting, finance and performance. In this corporate environment, 3 things have been very important to me:
1. I have always been committed to true entrepreneurship and managed my countries as if they were my own company. So no tick-in-the-box mentality.
2. I have always been able to combine my social skills and my inspirational leadership with a strong drive for results.
3. Finally, I have always been able to turn strategic challenges into concrete and pragmatic actions.
So I can best describe myself as a strong analytical and pragmatic person with a clear focus on achieving results, where my main added value lies in the areas of entrepreneurship, engagement and performance. I am able to lead management teams and create a culture of trust.”
My entire career consists of a succession of “interim” jobs.
Especially in the last 20 years in which I worked as Managing Director for Securitas and the strongly quarterly driven and listed Stanley Security and Otis, the work and tasks consisted largely of projects.
Of course, there was always a red thread and a somewhat leading long-term strategy but listed companies are often characterized by short-term projects with a clear focus on improving performance and operating results.
Below you will find a list of the most important projects I have carried out over the past 20 years.
The main basis for my success over the last 20 years has been in creating effective Management Teams.
My approach is based on strengthening the connections between team members to create a strong foundation of understanding and trust.
In addition, I have always been committed to improving the personal skills of my team members. With really only 1 objective: to make sure that my input becomes superfluous.
As a graduated Chemical Engineer, during my career I have formed myself in the field of connections between people whereby my role as General Manager has mainly focused on the function of catalyst – improving processes and mutual cooperation.
I have shared this knowledge in my blog and on LinkedIn under the name “Chemistry Of Us”. And also on this website I have posted all my publications.
