Dutch hospitality professional with over 14 years of both national and international managerial experience. Leader with demonstrated experience in various fields, specialized in operations management and people management. Having led multiple teams/ departments of various sizes (up to >100 people) in and across different cultures has influenced my personal growth and style in a positive way. I possess strong communication skills, am empathic and culturally sensitive and able to build lasting relationships.

With my skillset I have demonstrated to work well in various fields, such as the hotel, events-and tourism-industry as well as in a municipal environment. I am convinced that as a flexible manager & leader, you can apply these skills in any environment, field or industry, as long as you have the persistence and motivation to make it work.
