Klimmen Tegen Klimaatarmoede

November 2024 - November 2024 | Solidaridad

On November 2nd, 2024 I’m joining a group of Perfetti van Melle colleagues for a 12-hour non-stop climb to support small-scale farmers in developing countries. These farmers, who grow our coffee, tea, and cocoa, are being hit hard by climate change. Droughts, floods, and pests are making it increasingly difficult for them to make ends meet.
Every euro counts! Donate now at: My Donation Page Help me climb against climate poverty and give these hardworking farmers a brighter future!

Together, we can make a difference! With your donation, we can:

  • Plant trees: For just €5, a farmer in Colombia can plant 2 shade trees, which absorb CO2 and improve soil quality.
  • Improve soil: With €10, a farmer in Kenya can have their soil tested and receive advice on how to increase their yield.
  • Provide training: For €25, a farmer in Kenya can learn how to make their own organic fertilizer, saving them money and protecting the environment.

Whether we’re talking internal documentation or external sources, data is everywhere – and the flood of data is only increasing.

Are you overwhelmed by the huge volume of information? We would be happy to help you with data management.

Bake a Cake

October 2019 - December 2021 | Astellas Pharma | Meppel

Documentation, and especially documentation structure is not always easy to understand. When discussing what content belongs in what kind of document people tend to fall back in the familiar. To break the content bias and legacy way of doing things an example completely out of scope of the daily business could help.
To enable the discussion on document structure I’ve created a complete set of process documents on the topic of  ‘Organizing a Birthday Party the Dutch Way’.  With this set of documents, a shopping bag full of props and a nice PowerPoint presentation this formed the  basis for various “Bake a Cake” sessions in which the document structure was explained and the proper content level of different document types was discussed.

Meanwhile there are all kind of activities like making sure everybody is aware of the activities, finding suitable locations and getting sponsors and other partners on board.

Onward to the first Qualifier Trial in April operational activities will take place to make sure there will be series of challenging but fair trials. Also the final registration will take place and our competitors will have a lot of questions which need to be answered.

With a small team you need to be able to switch quickly between tasks. My tasks in this project;

Working as volunteer on one of the Noordwijktrial events is a good learning experience in working with sheep or in Hospitality.  Noordwijktrial offers access to a large network of Trainers, Professionals and Volunteers.

When a hobby grows to big, some formalization is needed. In 2017 we’ve decided to formalize the existence of Noordwijktrial by founding the Noordwijktrial Foundation. As one of the initial members of the Noordwijktrial Team I took up the role as Chairman of the foundation.

Master Data Request Automation

October 2017 - November 2017 | Syngenta Seeds | Enkhuizen

Within Syngenta Master Data Management is complex, many tasks are outsourced. The translation from business requirements to workable request for the third-party service provider is crucial for successful Master Data Management.
The process of creating Master Data request involves a lot of repetitive actions and is based on a given set of  possible choices. To simplify the request processing I was assigned the task to improve the used templates with data checks and request validation.

The more automation I could put in within the given timeframe and restrictions the better.  This was a big challenge because from the beginning I was convinced it was possible to automate the process from start to end. Biggest limiting factor was the wish for the new tool to be fully maintainable by the MDM Team, this resulted in a decision on using Excel without VBA and any formula more complex than a VLOOKUP.

The final result was a stable and user maintainable tool built in Excel providing accurate suggestions on what to request and how to fill a request template.

Interim SAP MDM Originator 

July 2017 - November 2017 | Syngenta Seeds | De Lier/Enkhuizen

World Trial Qualifiers 2017

Once in every three years the International Sheep Dog Society organize the World Sheepdog Trials. For this championship we, the Dutch Sheep Dog Society, as associate of the ISDS, are asked to create a team which will represent the Netherlands on the WT in 2017. For selecting the Dutch Team we organized 4 qualifying trials. A place in the Dutch Team is, for many handlers, a valuable thing there is a lot of pressure to have a fair set of trials. This all starts with good rules and regulations and selecting the right judges. But also every minor detail counts, where on a regular trial you can get away with asking a running handler to help, on a qualifier trial this can be(or even look) unfair, therefore a lot of volunteers is needed.

My tasks in this project;

  • Updating documentation and get approval from the members
  • Selecting and inviting (international)Judges
  • Inviting Volunteers
  • Make travel arrangements for judge & volunteers
  • Calculate and publish scores and rankings
