The Randstad, Netherlands
My interest in real estate was ignited by growing up in a planned city, where I developed a deep appreciation for buildings and their profound impact on the environment and people. I am fascinated by how buildings shape our surroundings and influence our daily lives, recognizing that humans spend most of their time indoors. This interest has driven my passion for real estate, particularly in how we manage buildings from conception through to exploitation. With my current position at Remit Consulting, I have engaged with the different facets of the real estate business, focusing on people, processes, and technology. I have developed a keen interest in the role of technology in real estate, recognizing its positive impact when effectively selected and implemented. My role involves helping Real Estate Companies restructure, define, and implement new software solutions. While assisting with change management and business process improvements. My responsibilities also encompass conducting comprehensive market research to support strategic initiatives.
