Freelance Project-/ Event Manager | Bringing structure to projects, teams & events

About

As a Freelance Project-/ Event Manager I help businesses to turn ideas into structured execution. I help bring structure to operations, projects and teams, so things don’t stay stuck in planning documents or endless to-do lists, but actually get executed. Over the past few years I’ve worked closely with founders and growing teams across different industries and countries. From coordinating complex projects and managing remote teams to supporting high-end events and launches, my role is always the same: keeping the overview and making sure things run smoothly behind the scenes. Clients typically bring me in when they: πŸ‘‰ Need someone to own project timelines and team coordination πŸ‘‰ Are planning an event, launch or production and need someone to coordinate vendors, timelines and logistics πŸ‘‰ Want their ideas translated into clear plans and structured execution πŸ‘‰ Are scaling and need stronger operational foundations and systems πŸ‘‰ Want to free up headspace so they can focus on strategy and leadership πŸ‘‰ Need a right hand who can both think strategically and get things done But tools are never the goal... Progress is! On the side, I’m building (in)TANGIBLE, a mission-driven project supporting those standing beside a loved one battling mental illness β€” a personal story turned into a purpose-driven initiative. If you're a founder struggling to scale in a structured way and maintain oversight of all projects going on, I can help bring structured execution (and time) back, let’s connect. 🌐 www.bydocoaching.nl 🌐 www.intangible-health.com

With (in)TANGIBLE, I want to provide you with exactly what me and my family missed during the time this loved one was severely ill.
