Technical education

After my graduation as Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering, I started as an electrical engineer designing electronic products. This brought me deep insight in all the aspects of product development. In this period of about 10 years, I gradually adopted additional commercial responsibilities.

Commercial-technical professional

The next 20 years I fulfilled commercial roles in international B2B markets for technological solutions like: electronic payment systems, internet security and physical security systems. Here I learned a lot about various business processes and cultures. This experiences proves vital in identifying the real needs of organizations for which solutions are required.

Technical-commercial professional

Thereafter I have changed direction towards a technical-commercial role as product manager in building automation. This brought me closer to my original passion again. More recently I have extended this direction and retrained myself as a Java Developer, where I obtained the necessary Oracle certificates in 2018/2019.
