Mark in a few words

Als gecertificeerd Project Manager / Product Owner en GDPR Data Protection Officer heb ik reeds 15+ jaar ervaring opgedaan bij een breed aanbod aan kleine en grote (inter)nationale ondernemingen. Vooral projecten in de digitale transformatie, ontwikkeling en opzet van nieuwe marketing departementen en ontwikkeling van kleine en grote software implementaties hebben mijn voorkeur.

Welke diensten bied ik aan:
- Consultancy als project manager voor digitale (transformatie) projecten.
- Coaching voor digitale agencies en interne marketing afdelingen.
- Consultancy als Product Owner voor software en marketing implementaties.
- Coaching voor agile transformaties van bestaande of nieuwe afdelingen / teams / tribes.
- GDPR consulting als Data Protection Officer en GDPR analist
- GDPR compliancy coaching voor ondernemingen die eigen juridische diensten hebben.

Wat maakt mij uniek (niet mijn eigen woorden)
- Sterk communicator met sterk gevoel voor structuur (contactpersonen: Essent, TVH)
- Niet vies om zelf ook de handen vuil te maken. Zowel coördinerend als operationeel sterk. (Contactpersonen: Essent, BMW, ING, Tesa)
- Weet waarover hij spreekt (Contactpersonen: BasicFit, KBC, Comparex)
- Aangename persoonlijkheid die weet van aanpakken (Contactpersonen: TVH, Bol.com, Vlaamse overheid, Suzuki Belgium, Remeha)

Voor zowel korte als lange termijn opdrachten geef ik het uiterste voor een zo goed mogelijk resultaat. Directe communicatiestijl en hanteer de rege Practice what you preach.
