Description

I fix stalled tech rollouts and help organizations navigate complex transformations.

Based in the Netherlands, I operate as an independent contractor (ZZP’er via KvK) available for 100% remote initiatives across EMEA.

Over the past 8+ years, I have delivered enterprise SaaS implementations, data migration programs, and large-scale operational change initiatives across Europe, Africa, and Asia. My background spans business analysis, consulting, implementation leadership, and program management, allowing me to bridge business, technology, and execution.

I am typically brought in when projects become difficult: priorities conflict, stakeholders are misaligned, ownership is unclear, or delivery momentum has stalled. My role is to create clarity, align teams around shared outcomes, establish practical governance, and drive initiatives through to delivery.

I thrive in ambiguous environments where there is no obvious playbook. Whether leading international rollouts, coordinating cross-functional teams, or stabilizing struggling programs, I focus on transparency, accountability, and measurable outcomes.

What I bring to a project:

• Program & Project Delivery (Agile / Hybrid)

• Enterprise SaaS Implementations & Data Migrations

• Stakeholder Alignment & Governance

• Operational Transformation & Change Management

• Program Recovery & Delivery Stabilization

• Risk, Dependency & Critical Issue Management

• International & Cross-Cultural Delivery

Interim Program Recovery & Delivery Stabilization
Brought in to stabilize a business-critical transformation program operating across multiple teams and complex cross-functional domains.
Program Recovery: Took rapid ownership of a fragmented, multi-stream initiative lacking clear governance, establishing a structured delivery framework across all parallel workstreams.
Scope & Alignment: Drove extensive scope clarification and backlog prioritization across functional domains, completely eliminating execution ambiguity.
Risk Management: Identified and escalated critical structural delivery risks (including missing UAT phases and capacity gaps). Strategically contributed to a deliberate, delayed go-live—successfully preventing a high-risk, potentially catastrophic release.
Stakeholder Management: Coordinated cross-functional business, product, and technical engineering teams to maintain forward momentum despite heavy leadership turnover.
Accountability: Introduced clearer execution tracking, KPIs, and ownership mechanisms to permanently prevent further delivery stagnation.

Global Rollouts: Led end-to-end regional enterprise implementations across 5 international hubs (including South Africa, UAE, Vietnam, US, and Australia), serving as the primary bridge between business, tech, and execution.
End-to-End Ownership: Drove full implementation lifecycles across key regions from initial current-state assessments through to design, build, and final go-live preparation.
Migration Strategy: Defined comprehensive implementation roadmaps and migration strategies, successfully aligning scope, sequencing, and milestones across multiple legacy systems and parallel workstreams.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Coordinated cross-functional execution across 6 international stakeholder groups and teams ranging from 10 to 40 people (including local C-suite leadership, global SMEs, and engineering squads).
High-Intensity Delivery: Managed high-velocity environments with up to 20 cross-functional coordination forums per week, maintaining strict alignment and execution momentum.
Structure & Governance: Established immediate order in under-defined delivery environments by clarifying ownership, decision-making channels, and execution sequencing under compressed timelines and resource constraints.
