Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I know the reality of companies from the inside. As General Manager of Syntra West, I managed an organization with 200 internal employees that trains thousands of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial students. I know what it's like to achieve maximum results with limited resources.

When corona broke out, I developed the entire digital service offering in record time - because it had to be done, with the people and resources we had. I bring precisely that pragmatic approach to your company.

Due to my background as a researcher, I work evidence-based, with scientifically substantiated methodologies, but translated to your practice, no jargon, just workable solutions.

My years of experience as a project manager and campus manager in West Flanders mean that I know the business world, the training and education landscape, and policymakers in the region well. I can leverage this network to your advantage.
