Binnen de directie Registers van DUO houd ik me bezig met de menselijke maat. Ik geef wekelijks workshops over het werken volgens de menselijke maat en ondersteun teams bij het wegnemen van belemmeringen. Daarnaast help ik collega's met professionele buikpijn bij het vinden van een mogelijke oplossing, o.a. door het organiseren van Maatwerkplaatsen. Ik faciliteer het leren van deze dossiers en adviseer de directie over de behoefte van de organisatie bij het nemen van de juiste stappen.

In 2019, Target Holding continued under the new name Slimmer AI. I was responsible for change management after the company pivot to an AI venture studio. As such, I worked on guiding employees to new positions, streamlining and improving our existing operational processes (e.g. on- offboarding, office management) and optimizing our tool stack to fit our new way of working, such as adding Microsoft 365 and remote working tools. During this time, I also built a scalable information security management system and established our first operational year plan on communication tools, information security needs and product and development infrastructure with stakeholders from all teams to support changing our company ambitions.

Responsible for creating and running a new operational layer between the CEO and all the project leads in the company, which provided them with strategical support on customer contact, organization of their software development teams, project scope, resource distribution and team conflicts. Together with my colleague, we were overseeing more than 40 people and several high-stake projects.

Boys Town - Nebraska

As program director of the Social Cognition Research Program, I focussed on the neurobiology of disruptive behaviour in youth and adults, with a particular emphasis on (emotional) value processing, communication and learning. For more information, see the link below. We established the Neurobehavorial Research Center at Boys Town in 2015. While I was setting up my own research line, I was also responsible for establishing the new imaging center (e.g. setting up the new scanner and experimental protocols, infrastructure, QA methods, equipment, hiring). I trained and managed a team of scientists and supporting staff, acted as scientific consultant for research groups in the US, the UK, China, the Netherlands and South Korea and introduced machine learning methods to our center.

Bethesda, Maryland

Postdoctoral researcher at the Section of Affective and Cognitive Neuroscience. Here I further developed my neuroscientific research on empathy and continued my training as a scientist, under the direction of Dr. James Blair. In addition, I developed a data analysis toolkit that greatly improved our data processing speed and quality. I was also chair of the National Institute of Mental Health Fellows Committee (2012 - 2015), which organizes events such as the annual retreat and monthly seminar series.
