Tamara Schutte

Thirza desinged a Customer Experience Masterclass for Guidion. Thirza is a real CX expert and knows a lot about the subject. But besides that she knows how to enthuse others for it! In our Masterclass we worked with a train-the-trainer concept and she is able to give valuable feedback in a very pleasant way. She's very pleasant to work with!

Having worked closely together with Thirza at Air France KLM, it was clear to me that she would be the best person to help Guidion take a next step in embracing Customer Experience Management. Over the past months she developed an internal CX Masterclass for all Guidion colleagues, which is very successful. Not only does she bring deep knowledge about the subject, her style is always sharp, pleasant and fun at the same time. She quickly understands the challenges of a situation and adapts her approach accordingly. I am sure we will be reaching out to her much more in the future!

Thirza is a skilled and enthusiastic service designer with a broad experience. She is an excellent coach for teaching Human Centered Design, by making a great combination of theory and practice. She can also help organizations to form their CX-strategy, including delivering brainpower for challenging questions such as how to measure customer impact. Above all this she is a great collegue to work with.
