Senior Manager | Building structure where it's missing | IT, government, healthcare | Traveler | Master of Arts in Literary Science
Summary
I show up when the structure is missing or broken: unclear mandates, teams working at cross purposes, ways of working that nobody owns. I build clarity, get people working together, and move on.
My background runs across healthcare, government, telecom, education, and IT. That breadth is deliberate. The problems I'm good at solving show up everywhere.
I'm Dutch, have lived and worked in Sweden since 2013, and work day-to-day in Swedish and English..
