Program Manager | ZZP
Delivering complex programs from planning through to deployment. 15+ years of experience coordinating cross-functional teams, vendors, and stakeholders across industries and geographies.
Get in TouchI'm a program manager with over 15 years of experience delivering complex, multi-stakeholder programs. My career spans corporate technology at Nike EMEA and international development consulting at Mott MacDonald, where I managed portfolios of up to £20M across multiple countries and organizations.
What connects these different worlds is the same core challenge: coordinating large numbers of people, managing dependencies, and keeping delivery on track when things get complicated. Whether it's 49 cross-functional teams delivering a technology rollout or 50+ staff across four partner organizations in a fragile operating environment, the fundamentals are the same.
I'm based in the Netherlands and work as a freelancer (ZZP). I'm always interested in programs where clear coordination and structured delivery can make the difference.
End-to-end program delivery across multiple teams, vendors, and geographies. I build integrated plans, establish governance structures, manage dependencies, and drive resolution when bottlenecks emerge. Experienced with Microsoft Project, Jira, Asana, and Smartsheet.
Coordinating technology implementations from scoping and vendor selection through deployment and stabilization. Experience managing multi-vendor integrations, hardware rollouts, and platform deployments across diverse environments.
Strategic guidance on program structure, governance design, and process optimization. Support for organizations navigating complex delivery challenges, whether in corporate IT, international development, or cross-sector initiatives.
End-to-end technology delivery for 70+ store openings and refits across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, coordinating multiple vendors and internal teams.
Managed a large-scale health and nutrition program delivering essential services to over two million people in a fragile, multi-stakeholder environment.
Led a governance program from inception to closure, covering commercial, contractual, risk, and stakeholder management across government counterparts and delivery partners.
Designed data collection tools and analytical frameworks to assess institutional capacity of decentralized welfare institutions, generating evidence-based recommendations for the World Bank.
Designed and implemented monitoring tools and analytical frameworks for a vocational training program, enabling data-driven adjustments to delivery.
Managed the program from mid-term through to close-out, including asset transfer, final reporting, and financial closure.
