I am an internationally experienced manager who has led teams and complex projects in Europe, the Middle East and Africa within Oracle Corporation Worldwide and in later leadership roles. After retirement, I ran a guesthouse and olive farm in South Africa for 16 years, and relocated to Spain to immerse myself in AI technology and explore how these tools can support real-world organizations and teams. In my current work I apply my native Dutch and strong English to help Dutch- and English-speaking organizations understand and adopt AI: clarifying use cases, refining prompts and workflows, and translating technical AI concepts into clear, practical guidance for business and operations. I also carry out voice-recording projects in my private studio, where I produce YouTube videos covering classic oldies with a strong focus on sound quality. I am open to participate in projects that take 10 to 20 hours of my time weekly, preferably in AI or audio.
