Being the bridge between innovative technologies and creating a business strategy while building a team that successfully grows the market is what I love to do.

My specialty lies in the world of work and the bridge between HR and technology. The past years I have been growing incubation products and scaled businesses within this industry. I understand the technical innovations on how to make the world of work better, but also on how to build and execute on a plan to accelerate to market. I was one of the first 5 consultants at LinkedIn bringing digital transformation into the world of Human Resources. I was part of Microsoft’s Viva product group during the launch of the Viva employee experience platform.

My approach for attacking challenges is to innovate through collaboration and data. Continuously developing and learning is for me part of the journey of innovation. I set a very high bar for myself and others. Through constantly examining and challenging, I enable others to grow rapidly and secure accelerated business success.

Currently I am the Director of Employee Experience consultancy and we create compelling employee experience visions for the C suite. The effect of people on organizations transformation is key and every digital transformation asks for a cultural transformation as well. Organizations struggle to translate the business need in to a technology solution. My team advises customers on the effect on people and how these technologies allow for a better employee experience.
