Esli Severijn

Thanks to my sensitivity, I can easily read between the lines. This allows me to sense what is going on under the surface and take action accordingly.

Deadlines? I love them! A bit of pressure not only makes me more productive, it actually makes me more creative!

I like quality. I’d rather spend extra time on something than deliver something that is not up to standard.

Lists, overviews and schedules: I know exactly what needs to be delivered when and how best to get it done.

As a change manager and communication specialist, I monitored the quality of the Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. My focus was on filtering and prioritising issues raised by analysts and relaying this to the end user. In addition, as a communication specialist, I kept the department informed of important changes that were occurring regarding the Rabobank procedure for conducting Customer Due Diligence. Because the KYC process management and communication role gave me a good overview of what was going on in the department, I also monitored, together with the Management Team, our department’s strategy plan and KPIs and worked on further optimising them. 

Thomas Penzkofer: “Esli, you became one of us in lightning speed. Your engaged and focused contribution was highly appreciated and we would love for you to knock on our door again after your traineeship at Ormit!”  

As a communications specialist in the Communications & Branding team, I was responsible for informing employees with the right and relevant information, keeping our organisation transparent and keeping employees engaged. To achieve this, it was important to build an extensive network of contacts with the DSM management, business groups and other key stakeholders. Apart from this, I was involved in several ongoing Communications & Branding projects, such as the Employee Engagement Campaign, with coordination and strategic design.
