About

With over 15 years of work experience in marketing, communication, and change management, I am passionate about driving transformational change across diverse and complex organizations. I have a strong background in communication, with IT focus and I am certified in change management. I currently work as a Change Manager at Deutsche Post und DHL, the world's leading logistics company, where I align with the company's vision of connecting people and improving lives. As the Change Manager Workstream Lead of a global HR project, I am responsible for rolling out a new HR system to over 100 countries. The new system comes with new processes and mindset change along the way and very much defers from country to country. Therefor it is every time exciting to work together with the local HR on getting "the pieces together". I manage the change management activities, such as stakeholder and change impact analysis in order to accompany the local HR team through the change and equip them with tools and practical examples that they can use for their own local change management activities. I leverage my project management, content management and communication skills to ensure a smooth and successful implementation. I also collaborate with various teams and partners across the organization, such as IT, HR, and business units, to facilitate alignment and support. I enjoy working in a dynamic and multicultural environment, where I can learn from different perspectives and experiences.
