What I'm looking for
Hi there,
I’m Marieke, a trilingual professional with a passion for organisation, hospitality, and customer service. With nearly 20 years of experience, I excel in roles where I can help businesses stay efficient and organised. I thrive when taking care of details, whether it’s organising meetings, assisting clients, or keeping everything running behind the scenes.
Originally from the Netherlands, I now live in France, where I work as Credit Manager at the InterContinental Marseille - Hôtel Dieu. Fluent in three languages and having worked in fast-paced international environments, I’m always ready for a challenge.
In my free time, I organise a monthly international book club and am a proud Airbnb Superhost, creating welcoming experiences for guests from around the world.
