Expertise
I make sure that people are able to get their jobs done. This is done through training, experiential learning, and counceling in order to: devise clear goals, design and monitoring processes, map out the necessary and available resources, foster openness to new interpretations of the situation at hand, (re)align expectations, strategically encourag team-members' inspiration, and mediate between diverse stakeholders. Having resided in Europe and South America, I thrive in cross-cultural exchanges. Main activities at RuG: · Tailored and coordinated environments for students to create, prototype, and report their own entrepreneurial projects at the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Science and Engineering, the Honour's College, the University College (Liberal Arts), and the Faculty of Business and Economics.· Coached entrepreneurial teams in designing and implementing their projects.· Managed the teams conducting the yearly Falling Walls pitch competition. Data-driven management:· Coordinated VentureLab Weekend, leading a team of coaches, business experts, and judges, and successfully transitioning the experience to an online environment.· Reported the social impact of the Centre of Entrepreneurship and the Centre for Sustainable Entrepreneurship to government and business leaders.· Mapped out the Centre of Entrepreneurship’s customer journeys.
