Years ago, I stumbled upon the inspirational quote “Strive not to be a success, but rather be of value”. I never forgot the quote, and inspirational as it is, it made me think to what principles I live by myself, and to what extent I apply certain principles in my career. There, I discovered that I have never been solely led by the aim of becoming more successful. My job titles have been product owner, manager, business analyst and consultant. Independently of these titles, my aim was, is, and will always be, to serve you best, and to provide value to you, your employees and customers. To help you reaching your business goals. To coach and unite your people, to motivate them to improve themselves in aspects where they can truly make a difference. To define who your customers are, to understand them, and to turn them into supporters and promotors. By helping you, and by being an enabler to others, that is, what being valuable means to me, and what I live by. Personally, and professionally. I launched Rebel Green Solutions, with the belief and conviction, that by a strong focus on people (management drives profile ‘Green’), by challenging the status quo (Rebel) and a mindset to deliver nothing less than valuable and highly adopted solutions, there is so much to win, enjoy and achieve.With Rebel Green Solutions, I like to contribute to your success. Contact me any time when in need of an interim, people centered and value focused Product Owner. Ewout Jonker
