About me
Works as Netherlands Teamleader on #da12social in a NL team. I am Senior consultant, founder of Proficio in The Netherlands with focus on International Cooperation (strategic planning, management consultancy, Small and Medium size Enterprise development (SME), Monitoring and Evaluations (M&E) ).
Information & Management Consultant with international (expatriate) teamleader experience in a.o. foreign aid and technical assistance programmes.
My passion is to challenge organizations, teams & individuals and not the least myself, to skip routine and to become far more creative in finding management solutions and planning strategies.
As on-site Management and Information Consultant, I have over 25 years of practical, consulting and research experience, and a proven didactic record as an informative, theoretical, methodological and practical trainer. Over years I became a cross-functional implementor and accomplished (on site) change agent in multi disciplinary, socially mixed environments.
My long-term and short-term assignments for the private sector, the public sector and universities have been both in western and developing countries. While living for extended periods in the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, and as a result of extensive traveling, I developed a profound cultural interest.
