Coaching

ROLE - Program manager digital marketing

For one of my assignment as freelancer, I took the role of acting program manager: manage the existing team, help the team to align on vision and approach, guide the recruitment of the open vacancies and the on-boarding. Once the team was in place, I gradually made myself redundant. 


Had the opportunity to coach multiple capable team members and they have a special place in my heart and memories.

What's more rewarding than seeing your team members evolve and grow? 

For each of them, my role was a bit different, but I have a huge respect for the path each of them made. Grateful that the respect is vice versa as well :-)
