I am curious and in for the new. I am like a kid-in-a-candystore when it comes to applying a human-centred design approach to generate new business opportunities. Especially when integrating digital opportunities into innovative designs and original products, new business services and sustainable environments. I am especially triggered when projects combine corporates and innovation; engaged to set-up new ventures that fit strategically. I am passionate to explore those eco-systems and discover future trends. What I absolutely love is meeting people - listening, observing and connecting with them - to really understand what they need and makes them tick. This information is my input to think creatively and distill clear insights and opportunities. To create concepts and visuals that are concrete, bring value and are sustainable. A mixture of analytics and strategic creativity. My work sets up preferable futures for organizations, typically through innovation & design, customer/employee experience, brand positioning & strategy, presenting and facilitating brainstorm sessions, and digital strategy. My strengths are discovering needs and turning them into (business) ideas, clarifying goals and creating engaging visions, building connections and enabling others. I have over 5 years of experience in projects in different sectors. I am driven to mobilise talents and teams towards a common goal, think strategically, deliver sustainable profitability and clear results. > Corporate Entrepreneur | Design Thinking Facilitator | Technical Innovation | Innovation Transformation Strategy <
