Jul 2012 – Jul 2013, High Tech Mechatronics* ♦ At HTM there was a huge time pressure. I managed a fast (4 months to get the basics live) but also successful implementation of a new ERP system. Add around 6 to 8 weeks for drafting the AS IS and TO BE processes with the MT, and I realized an enormous improvement of the company in less than 6 months (without frustrating or leaving demotivated employees behind). Beside this, I also ran various other improvement projects and developed a new corporate identity and website (hightechmechatronics.com). ● The results: (1) more effective and efficient organization; (2) reduced project throughput time for their clients; (3) increased employee satisfaction rate. ● See below for a recommendation of my client (Harm Peters). * HTM is a leading designer/manufacturer of prototype- & serial machines as well as high precision parts, ±150 employees. Sep 2011 - Jun 2012, Living and working in Sydney (Australia) Feb 2011 – Dec 2011, OMG Holding* ♦ Tracking software is the backbone of any online marketing agency. Hence the outsourcing of the tracking software to a cloud based service company was a very precise and critical project. I achieved a smooth implementation within 6 months time, with a high approval rate amongst employees. Afterwards, I helped designed a new strategy and product offering based on many interviews with advertisers and publishers. ● The results: (1) reduced fixed operating costs; (2) new product offering based on lower operating costs, making the company better equiped to beat competition and more focused on its added value. ● See below for a recommendation of my client (Edwin Basten). * OMG is an online marketing agency with several subsidiaries in affiliate & email marketing and social media.
Jun 2010 – Jan 2011, Heineken ♦ Draught beer is commercially attractive to breweries for a variety of reasons. I was made responsible for the introduction of draught beer in the Surinamese on-premise market. I conducted the NPD process for the draught beer project and chaired the NPD project team. I developed the on-premise draught beer concept, drafted the business case and tackled technical production problems. Main commercial challenges: creating a demand for draught beer, changing the mindset of local horeca staff. ● The results: (1) a well-executed and successful pilot, which included training local horeca staff, big PR events (draught beer competitions) and mystery visits program to guarantee quality; (2) a plan to further roll out draught beer in the Surinamese horeca.
Jul 2009 – Jun 2010 MotracLinde ♦ At one of PON's companies, I was made responsible to create a more lean and mean company by improving the business processes related to the Shop floor. I achieved a significantly increased efficiency of the work flow by digitizing the flow as much as possible, simultaneously reducing paper work. Due to budget reasons I decided to develop the required software with PON's IT-department. ● The results: (1) a lean and mean work flow; (2) improved employee satisfaction rate. ● In a feedback conversation with my manager I received praising words and was advised to continue down this road. Hence the career steps mentioned above. Feb 2009 – Jul 2009 PON Automotive ♦ PON Automotive was subscribing to a billion dollar tender and was aiming to offer a one-stop-shop. Unfortunately, one required vehicle was missing in its product range and therefore had to be developed by themselves (no existing vehicle met the requirements). I was put forward to advise a board of directors on how to set up this development and manufacturing project and to perform a thorough risk analysis with Accenture. ● The results: the project appeared to be incredibly risky and way out of PON’s expertise. Possible partners refused to share the risks and I therefore advised to explore a number of alternatives.
