As a business development manager my work entailed managing the creation of new processes and implementing growth opportunities between organizations. The goal is to create a win-win scenario by setting up long-term business relations.I am a Dutchie, grew up in the center of the Netherlands, studied there (Utrecht University).What I loved about my studies is setting up or analyzing processes and using new or existing tools to improve and optimize these processes. For example, my thesis was assessing the Product Security Maturity Model, to determine security maturity and how the model would function in a business context.Besides studying, I spend a lot of time doing volunteer work. While I have done a wide range of volunteering I have two achievements that I am particularly proud of. I started a new Scouting group in Utrecht. One that is growing rapidly and setting an example for similar groups to follow. This work included a year as a board member and founding a number of committees. I also greatly expanded Student Scouting Netherland, a national collaboration of student scouting groups. I created a detailed plan for the organization, convinced the member organizations to vote in this plan and subsequently grew the board from three to five members with whom I started a two year process of creating an organization that can be easily sustained over a long period of time.My resume is, of course, much longer and I have only included the highlights on my LinkedIn page.
