Professional experience (in reversed chronological order)

1999 – 2003 Project Manager Baan Development
Project Management within Baan is focused on defining the requirements for a project (together with product management), planning and execution. The execution is not only driven on time, but also on quality. The overall focus within Baan was less on budget.

- Projects within Baan have a multi-site development focus, as development is done in the Netherlands, India and in Germany. This makes the approach of projects complex.
- The Project Management Office within Baan Development is member of the Project Management Institute.

Some of my projects:
- Overal responsibility for the development of a migration solution from the former Baan environment to the new BaanERP6.0 environment. This was an extremely complex program, with multi-site development (the Netherlands, India, and Germany, and a multi byte test program in Japan). I approached this project as a program with several subprojects focused on deliverables (tools, content, documentation). Six project managers reported to me (two in India, one in Germany and three in the Netherlands).

- Before this program I was assigned to manage a process improvement program within the sub-department Configuration and Delivery (C&D). This department is responsible for quality ensuring (testing, performance), documentation, translation and software configuration. This program was split in several sub-programs like requirements management, project management, supplier agreement management measurement & analysis et cetera. A project leader or line manager managed every sub-program. My role was to manage the overall program. Beside that I was asked to bring project management within C&D on a higher level.

Before these two projects I released various applications within Baan, like:
- BaanERP5.2; a new ERP-environment
- Baan Service Scheduler; an application that schedules service people in a dynamic environment
- Workflow; a customization project around the workflow of ERP5.0c for KPN (Dutch Telecom). As this was a fixed price project, budgeting was an important aspect as well. For this project I had to set-up a way of financial reporting (not common within Baan) in such way that budgeting was well managed.
- Automotive Global Solution; extension for the automotive industry with a focus on “Tier one suppliers”.

A release within Baan means taking care of bringing an application to the market; from product development to organizational readiness. As such it was my responsibility to take care of (i.e.)
- Product readiness:
o Product quality (testing, multi byte enabling)
o Documentation (installation guides, release notes, user manuals)
o Media development (on CD, tape or via web delivery)
- Organizational readiness:
o People trained to support the applications (organize trainings)
o People trained to implement and support on customer site
o Marketing material available (white papers)

1997 – 1999 Spokesman for the Ministry of Defense (The Hague)
Rresponsible for the external communication concerning all navy-related matters and of organizing press events and press journeys. Beside that I was also, aseditor, responsible for the internal Navy magazine (“het Marinenieuws” and the “Alle Hens”).
In that same period I was also a member of the "Disaster Assistance Response Team" (DART), a team of military specialists that, within 24 hours, could be send to human disasters all over the world. I have actively participated in disaster assistance operations in Honduras (Nov 1998) and the Dutch Antilles (Sep 1998). Within this team I was responsible for public relations.

1995 – 1997 Operations Officer on board of Dutch frigates (various vessels)
As Operations Officer responsible for all aspects of maritime operations, reporting directly to the Commanding Officer. At the same time I was responsible for the navigational and logistic aspects of the journey of the vessel. I was responsible (operational as well as in HRM-aspects) for approximately 40 naval officers, petty officers and sailors. During this period I have worked in arms embargo operations along the coast of former Yugoslavia, in counter drugs operations and other naval operations.

1993 – 1994 Executive Officer on board of a minesweeper (HNLMS Naaldwijk)
As Executive Officer I was second in command of a minesweeper and responsible for a total crew of 45. In this role I was responsible for the operational aspects of the vessel, and of all HRM-aspects on board.
