Kind of jobs and projects

I have done lots of projects in several businesses and in several roles.

The majority of my projects however were related to change management,

improvement processes and process redesign (lean). Due to my long

experience in finance, ICT, organizational matters and management, my

ability to fit quickly in new organizations and my approach towards all

levels of employees I could complete almost all of my projects with success

and the compliments of my constituents.
