Motivation
Due to my interest in new technology and innovative projects, the telecom market is an ideal environment for me. In my working environment I continuously seek the combination of and balance between technical knowledge (telecom and IT) and the communicative skills (project management etc.) necessary to make clients’ commissions a success.
 
Education
After my senior secondary vocational course (MBO) in Electrical Engineering with specialization in ICT/ interface technology and extensive knowledge from a Cisco (CCNA) educational path I went on to a higher professional education course (HBO). In Enschede (Saxion University of Applied Sciences) and later at Amsterdam (University of Applied Sciences) I completed the Information Technology course, with a final year project in speech recognition (both functional and technical).
 
Background & experience
After a course providing a broad IP network and IT background and some months’ experience in the role of junior architect I had laid the foundation for my knowledge. In the role of junior architect, I mainly wrote and harmonized vision pathways within the organization, for which a powerful ability to convince was needed.
 
Specific expertise
The fresh theoretical knowledge I bring with me from my education, combined with a wide view from architecture directed towards network technology, form my foundation. Having started after the end of 2006 in telecom, I gained knowledge of this too, and have developed further as a business analyst (including harmonization with business, writing functional designs), specializing particularly in the CRM and provisioning domain. Besides this I have a wide view of the entire chain.
