What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can streamline operations, manage end-to-end procurement or supply chain processes, and use my multilingual communication to support cross-functional teams and high customer satisfaction.

I am a seasoned professional with 21 years' experience across administration, office and project management, customer service, sales & marketing, and supply chain coordination. I consistently deliver operational improvements, strong stakeholder relationships, and high customer satisfaction.

My background includes roles at Canon-Europa, Cargill, and interim positions across HR, logistics, and sales administration, plus freelance translation work for clients including Amazon. I am proficient with SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, PeopleSoft, AS400 and advanced MS Office tools, and I apply strong data integrity and process optimization skills to every role.

I am multilingual (Dutch, English, German, French, Hebrew) and bring mature organisational ability, adaptability across industries, and proven experience resolving invoices, procurement and logistics issues to support business continuity and growth.
