Career path en path of life My work focuses on giving opportunities to meet people and to make connexions. Whilst meeting people I try to be as open and integer as possible and is it my preference to be direct instead of turning things around. The sharp sides of me 'playing a rebel' ( I always believed whatever I did, I did it just for the right purpose :-) are polished by now, but still persistent when I believe in something or in case I related my name to a desired result. In 2005, at the 'magical age' of 40, I became independent. After working as a freelancer for a period, I pursued my own passion of working under my company name 'Aiming', which consists of acquisition, networking, searching and placing! The choice for roles in result oriented environments with the focus on (internal) relationship management is a result of my own experience and my affinity. My focus on the personality, with 'Aiming at Personality' is based on conviction. I was born on August 23rd in 1964 and grew up as ‘the one in the middle out of three’ in a family from the south of The Netherlands.After high school and a Bachelors in Human Resources Management I began work at NCR, an American ICT company. Here I performed three different professions; five years Human Resources Management, two years Manager Customer Education & internal Basic Management School and two years sales / account management (Retail Banking). The given opportunity to step twice into completely different professional areas -facilitated by education & training- was an important source of inspiration in relation to my focus with Aiming. After nine years with NCR I worked three years for a consultancy agency (employability) in a combined role of sales, project management and consultancy. At my last employment, a consultancy agency (HR), I was senior consultant and manager search & selection for six years.
