Connexxion

• Connexxion - Transdev - Bus driver

  • Oct 2022 - Present

  Daily I work behind 2 large pc screens and create (financial) reports and pivot tables. This year I felt like adding a much bigger screen, giving me a new "window" of opportunity. As it is always good to start new challenges and learn different skills I decided to add bus driving to my life. It is a privilege to serve many passengers, who go to wherever they need to be. Thanks to the great people of the #Connexxion Academy of #Transdev for training me in the 10+ tons bus, taking corners with a 13 meter long vehicle. Show less



ORIEOS

  I do not know if you are familiar with Oreo cookies ™, or the Dutch equivalent “Sandwich Biscuits”. It is a double layered cookie with a creme in the middle that keeps the two sides together. This creme, besides it being very tasty, is the essential part to make the Oreo complete. If the cream is too runny the sides will not stick, if it is too dry they won’t either. It is essential to have a perfect substance to have the sides stick together and make the Oreo what it is supposed to be! This concept applies to many situations in life. You need the right components / ingredients to bring and keep things together. For example: Personal relationships: Respect, integrity, humor, … Project management: have the right people in the right place at the right time, … Office management: the right hard- and software and supplies for your staff, ... ICT: “garbage in = garbage out”; the correct information and the correct questions / queries and interpretation. Etc. etc. I enjoy creating and maintaining a good “creme” for the different things we face in life. My experience and qualifications are all part of this process, but they are not “it”. A willingness to learn new things, “stepping outside the circle” and finding enjoyment in helping people are my strengths. I have good people skills and find it easy to interact with a variety of people. Show less



Foundation Open Hearts for Kids

• Katwijk, the Netherlands

• Treasurer

  • Sep 2009 - Present

  Open Hearts for Kids has a passion for children, with medical problems, that mainly live in Third World countries. In many of these countries there are no medical means to help these children. It is our vision to raise sufficient (financial) support in order to be able to help at least 2 children per year by finding a hospital in which they can receive the necessary medical treatment. With the medical help that these children can get in the Netherlands they have hope for a better future. I find it a great privilege to be able to help these children, and their families, by serving as treasurer on a voluntary bases. Show less

  After many years of facing computer screens, with spreadsheets and CRM's, I was happy to be part-time driving a nice group of kids to their school. Munckhof is a great company and in the short time that I have been working there I am impressed with their organization. Learning new (people) skills is so much fun and meeting new colleagues in a different industry is a great experience.
