Making customers happy gives me my energy!

This can be by actively contributing to professionalising the procurement organisation or by contributing to bottom-line results but also by actively connecting people and companies to get inspired outside “the usual daily business”. That is why events and theme sessions are also a part of the Tendria proposition.

Together with our customers, partners, specialists and suppliers, Tendria forms a great source of knowledge, skills and fun. As founder that makes me very happy and proud!

As Tendria Partner, result-oriented purchasing in a technical playing field, is what gives me energy.
Always looking for the crucial balance between price, delivery reliability and building a long-term relationship with suppliers.

Furthermore, I am seen as a bridge builder and accessible team player within project teams to complete a specific project with success. With my positive and proactive attitude and with the right creativity I am able to come up with new initiatives and/or solutions.

As a Supply Chain professional, I know that teams and departments work best when there is open and honest communication. Creating an open organisation where data becomes information, so that facts can be discussed and people can make the right decisions; that is what energises me.

With my energetic character, and social and analytical skills, I can take the supply chain in your organisation to the next level where it becomes a powerful sparring partner of your purchasing and sales. This so that your organisation can serve your customers even better; with greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Through my connection with Tendria and its partners, you not only get my experience, but the connection to other experts is easily made.

With more than 25 years of experience in the (non) food industry and industrial automation, I am ready to help you take the next strategic or operational step. I am an independent professional with expertise in Supply Chain Management, Project Management, Operational Management and Contract Management.

Whether it concerns improvement or change processes, my broad experience enables me to effectively support your organization. I can fulfill various roles, including general manager, operational manager, sales manager, purchasing manager, project manager and contract manager.

As an initiator and self-starter, I have a helicopter view that allows me to quickly identify opportunities. I am a problem solver pur sang, who works purposefully and is strong in people orientation, analytical thinking and communication. My versatile skills make me a valued and versatile specialist.

It is my passion to support people and organizations in the area of supply chain and procurement. Different roles I already fulfilled were; procurement manager, senior buyer in a project team for high tech industry and manager operations office. Through my years of experience as a procurement professional and supply-chain manager, I know exactly which (work) processes in a company are important to keep developing.

My strength lies in my people skills. I can sense a colleague’s character in no time, without really knowing him or her well. This helps me to get a good overall view of the people behind the organization.

As a Tendria partner I would like to help companies connect, shape and improve by developing people, teams and processes. As a real connector I like to build bridges and I like to work in motivated (project) teams where there is room for initiative and improvement. Furthermore I enjoy interim management assignments. “Together we continue to build a better future.”
