Background

About Bart van Den Bossche

The 3 words I would use to describe myself are RESILIENT, DILIGENT, and TRUSTWORTHY- Resilient because I never get stressed in demanding situations, and I can easily prioritise multiple tasks- I am diligent, which means I always work thoroughly and accurately- Finally, trustworthy, which means you can rely on me to do everything I'm supposed to do without constant supervision, I always act professionally whilst communicating with customers and clients, and I will always be a supportive co-worker. I have a strong commitment to achieving results by optimizing products, processes, and people and my strengths include a Can-Do mentality, cultivating robust customer relationships, and maintaining open, transparent communication with all stakeholders. I take pride in the following achievements- I've led the Product Ops infrastructure team to optimize cloud spend on Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, and achieved a €128K (9%) cost saving compared to Forecast-1. As a result, earned recognition as best in class by the IT Center of Excellence- Successfully led the 'sheltered workshops' project, showcasing the effectiveness of involving individuals with disabilities in optimizing machine learning processes cost-effectively- As Product Manager Partnerships, I secured strategic partnerships with major global players, resulting in a significant reduction in maintenance costs- Streamlined a critical global business process, enabling key account managers to monitor customer obligations during production, significantly improving project success rates- Served as a diversity and inclusion ambassador, conducted a six-month weekly workshop on 'Unconscious Bias in the Workplace,'- trained over 350 colleagues.
