In the past years I have worked for and with several companies, through which I have built up a large network:

2017, I have been working in the energetic environment of B.Amsterdam, where start ups and corporates come together all focused on innovation. Worked with two of the founders of this company, Guus and Ricardo, before (Hot Networkz) and actually I am not surprised they are so successful. They totally understand what is needed is this new world and on top they have tremendous creativity to make it work in a way nobody would have thought of.

Since 2017, I dived into the world of start ups and innovation, specifically in the field of HR. Also re-inventing myself, but specifically trying to open up eyes of my HR colleagues. The army, believing that things have to be done differently, is growing. 

One of the start ups I embraced is Mployee, they offer the basis for a new HR playing field. A system that works the way we want it to, not vice versa.

Porticus (private philanthropy foundation) - Assignment: global head of HR, reshaping HR and supporting the company in its transiting. What a beautiful company and what an amazing purpose. Never met so many people working with all their hart and energy to change the world. Queen of transformation is absolutely Lucile de Godoy, Lisa Jordan expert in private foundations and leadership, Randa Grob (neuro scientist, who devotes her life to offer education to less privileged children), I really respect my HR team, whom I bully J every day to make HR better (Zsuzsanna Pap, Elisabeth Wilmers, Ellen Boere, Thijs Offermans) and the recruitement team with two top talents (Valerie Debuco and Leonore Kempers), also very happy to work again with Anouk Holsboer. And there a lot of other amazing people managing Porticus around the world…
