Stef Leenders

Graag motiveer en enthousiasmeer ik de mensen om mij heen. Ik neem mensen gemakkelijk mee met mijn aanstekelijke energie.

Mijn oplossingsgerichte mindset en creativiteit zorgen ervoor dat ik gemakkelijk out-of-the-box kan denken. Chaotische brainstorms met toffe ideeën? Kom maar door!

Ik houd van creativiteit maar niet van te veel poespas. Graag blijf ik bij de logica en breng het team zo steeds weer terug naar de kern van het verhaal.

Nee, nee niet alleen in de kroeg. Mijn studie communicatie en informatiewetenschappen breng ik graag in de praktijk. Zo zorg ik dat informatie behapbaar én leuk is voor de ontvanger.

As process manager at AkzoNobel, I was responsible within Sales & Key Account Management for optimising (commercial) processes. As AkzoNobel is a global player in the paint and coatings industry, this amounts to processes in various countries & topics: from new artwork to order handling and product management. Within my team, I dealt with the entire process- from product introduction to actual production. I also coordinated operational tasks in the project process, such as liaising with external content managers. As I worked on projects across Europe, I often dealt with a complex stakeholder field full of different interests. Ultimately, I found the challenge in connecting all these links in order to structurally develop a working method that makes things easier for everyone. Because in the end, we are all working towards the same goal: making AkzoNobel a little better every day.
