Tasks and responsibilities: Acquisition of national portfolio including Brezan, ABN AMRO and Bagels&Beans; Strategic consultancy for clients; Program of Requirements, Contract Negotiation and Contracting; Team building and coaching; (year) plan of approach/implementation; Budgeting/planning.

NIC Real Estate Development

• Real Estate Developer/management team

  • Aug 2008 - Sep 2011

  NIC Real Estate Development is a real estate development company that develops buildings based on target group profiles and the needs of target groups. I worked with the team on the realization of Creative Valley, a high-end office location where it is all about inspiration, interaction and facilitating meetings. The result is a working environment where you feel comfortable and work efficiently and in which you become part of a committed group of entrepreneurs and companies. Tasks and responsibilities: The process of acquiring land, building permit, building plan, architect and design, marketing and rental; Enthusiasm of users based on impressions and drawings; Stakeholder management (municipalities and business). Gained insight into the feasibility of creating a building and at the same time creating a community of various companies that have housed in the building and from which they develop their business activities inspired and effectively. In approximately three years' time, based on the target group concept, a building with a size of approximately 6,500 m² has been built that is so much sought after by companies to this day to accommodate themselves that there is an up-to-date waiting list.

• Senior consultant tenant representation/lease offices

  • 2002 - Aug 2008

  JLL is an Anglo-Saxon organization that provides real estate consultancy to companies worldwide.

Together with colleagues from the Tenant Representation team and direct colleagues, I advised management on housing strategy. Tasks and responsibilities: Structuring of real estate transactions up to 10,000 m² Contracting and Contract Negotiation; Client acquisition. Gained insight into the acquisition process aimed at CEO/CFO level and learned to professionally structure a real estate transaction and bring it to the desired result. I have learned to think commercially and to acquire independently. I have followed internal training and courses for this. But also developed the capacity and confidence to guide a transaction, both legally and commercially. Show less
