Info
- Social Media Trainer and Innovation ConsultantOnline Media | Utrecht Area, Netherlands, NLSummary
I'm a pro-active self-starter with 20 years of experience in journalism, communication, professional training, innovation consultancy and online media (of which 13 years internationally). My passion is to help (social and business) entrepreneurs and leaders to innovate, think out of the box, solve problems, improve their products and services, and make the world a better place. I'm a connector at heart: always keen to link people, ideas and resources. A trend spotter and strategic thinker who likes to challenge the status quo and provide a helicopter view of alternative insights and opportunities. A generalist with the ability to ask sharp questions and quickly perceive and analyze the crucial issues. I'm committed to teamwork and have a good sense of humor.
I can be hired as:
- Social media consultant and trainer: I help your company/organization develop a smart strategy for the effective use of social media (like LinkedIn, Twitter and blogging). This will help enhance your company's (corporate) communication, marketing and customer service. I can also train and coach your employees in the effective use of these tools.
- Innovation consultant: A fresh, 'disruptive' outsider's look can help improve your organization, services and products and find more cost-effective, customer-friendly and people-empowering solutions.
