Enabling employees to engage with their customers using technology is what I do. I’ve learned that creating teams with the same goal and empowering them is the biggest factor for success.

They can (co-) create apps, automate their processes and create their own insights. I love to engage with end-users and fulfill their wishes while I’m sitting right next to them.
