Curriculum Vitae *************************

How can I describe myself?
In my last role as Personal Assistant to the VP Sales and Service and the Managing Director SU EU, I had a broad range of tasks. A large part of my role was virtual, this requires strong communication and organizing skills. All communication was done in English. Besides the daily secretary tasks I was responsible for structuring processes, organization of internal and external meetings with focus on budget, quality and safety. I work independently, though in co-operation with the managers.
I do not have a 9-5 mentality and my strengths are proactive, strong organization talent, good communication skills. I work independently and am both supportive and proactive. As person I am spontaneous, cheerful, flexible and sincerely interested in people and the world around me.
