Overviews, TO-DO lists and schedules; I always have my business in order. Even in teamwork, I know how to streamline things so that all bits and pieces run like a structured engine.

Not only do I get energy from my own positive attitude, I also encourage others to stay positive. Whatever the situation, I always know how and where to find the sunshine!

Thanks to my people skills I can sense others pretty well. Not only am I capable to create a connection, but I can also make others feel comfortable. I will always carry the hospitality of a true “hotello” with me.

Whether they are work-related goals or physical achievements, I am convinced: where there is a will, there is a way! I will not quit until I have reached my goal!

I was Project Management Officer (PMO) and Project Lead on the Program Accelerate Motion team at ASML. This team is responsible for the relocation and redesign of these production lines to a so-called one-piece production (LCIA). As PMO, I overlooked the various workflows and brought different stakeholders together to ensure that the actions that were drawn up were directed in the right lines. Coordinating this relocation project was incredibly complicated because we were dealing with large, expensive machines and a lot of precision work. I became project lead for two of these production lines, which means that I was the first point of contact for all operators, engineers and architects who work with this production line. I made sure we kept an overview and that all actions were carried out on time. In addition, I was also partly responsible for the overview of the ongoing finances. I made sure that major expenses were approved in time by the right people. The biggest challenge throughout my assignment was in keeping the overview and structure within its complex and technical environment. I learned that without full content knowledge, but with the right critical questions and structure, you can make sure that this whole project can be managed well. I think it is very cool that I was able to experience this sector, which was unknown to me until now.
