I 💛 building stuff - professionally that translates to teams 👊🏼, cultures 🗺 and communities 🦓. Personally, I am deeply passionate about the Power of Mentoring and enjoy talking, teaching and training on the topic. Im co-founder of a Saas company called Mentorjam and we are based Amsterdam. If you want to connect with me on how I can help you build a program in your company or community or you want to be a Mentor I'd love to hear from you. My passion for Scale-ups can be traced back as far back as my first HR role working for a London based energy company. With now, more than 20 years experience in International HR, I've since spent most of my career working in the FinTech, IT, and Banking industries and has a philosophy aimed at challenging the status quo. My goal has always been to build diverse environments where people-first cultures can thrive and flourish. Through my love for mentoring and creative leadership style, I've transformed small teams into world class, high performing Talent Acquisition and People Operations teams. Totally aware of the demands that come with balancing a career and family, and I do a lot of work with women on how to promote themselves in business and in technology. Over the last few years, I've helped a number of start-ups and scale-ups grow their business, establish strong female workforces and build thriving diverse environments. My expertise includes taking small teams to international heights, creating campaigns that cater to female audiences and building graduate programs aimed at female students. Co-creator of two unique mini humans, an advocate for women in business, a total geek and techie at heart. I believe that NO is a full sentence and I live by the motto "Never underestimate the power of a positive mind".
