Adding value to an organization with the combination of management, knowledge and innovation in a technical environment is my main driving force. I’m always focussed on the added value of people within an organization. When their experience is transferred into knowledge it will be valuable for an organization. People have many good ideas. It is for me to manage these ideas into the right direction so both the organisation and the person itself will benefit.

The Ageing Centre is a research theme initiated by DCMAT to initiate and support fundamental research on the ageing behaviour of materials and structures. The mission of the Ageing Centre of the TU Delft is to investigate and model ageing phenomena at fundamental materials level and to make ageing predictable at the materials level and at the level of devices, structures and systems. Since ageing starts at the smallest scale, solutions for ageing should, therefore, start at that fundamental level. Since ageing of materials finally result in consequences at the macrolevel, ageing studies are inherently multi-scale and require multi-scale modelling. The Ageing Centre will concentrate primarily on research, but also has the ambition to disseminate new knowledge and expertise through courses, workshops and conferences.
VOBN is the Dutch association for the Ready Mixed Concrete industry. As the director I was the link between members, stakeholders and the office. Thanks to an extensive network in government, contractors, engineering companies, etc., my team and I took care that the members were up to date about the latest chances and threats in the industry. This resulted for example in: a labour plan, a durability campaign called: Beton Bewust, and an agenda for Corporate Social Responsibility. At the office I managed a team of 13 professionals. My style of leadership is coaching people in such a way that they have their focus on the members and are willing to take initiative. My main tasks as director were: - Contact for the stakeholders in the concrete industry - Contact for the board of the VOBN and the directors of the companies - Labour Union negotiations - Managing the office
The Dutch public works is responsible for the highways, water way and sea defence in the Netherlands. In 2002 I started as an innovation engineer. My task was to improve processes and the procedures for constructing and maintaining bridges, dams etc. After a year I started as head of the section I worked in. During my years as head of this section I participated in 2 reorganization processes. During the last one I had to form one of the new departments, Maintenance and Inspection. In this period I was also interim manage for 6 months of the department Building and Services which included 5 sections and 200 persons. During this period we managed to maintain the production, so the projects had no delays and were executed as planned.
