Work Experience

Head of Global Competence Center
01/2017 – present
Ericsson Broadcast and Media Services

EBMS needed to re-organize to allow a global style of working, making use of all staff wherever they are needed, with added job mobility and promoting a single and more generic and re-useable form of techniques, documentations, and communication. This lead to the creation of a global resource pool in EBMS – containing all infrastructure staff (Networks / Storage / Compute / Datacenter , all project managers, all broadcast engineers and architects, in all locations (London, Sweden, Finland, Paris, Madrid, Hilversum). This group contains around 170 staff at any given time.
This team provides project staff, long term secondments into technology squads and manages the internal infrastructure work as well. One consistent way of handling the teams, and their system and other admin needs, as well as recruitment is done centrally, lead by me.

Responsibilities include (and are not limited to) Budgeting, recruitment, assignment of staff to stakeholders and customers, performance reviewing, goalsetting, KPi setting. I have local management assisting me with that in all locations.

This is a EBMS MT role, which includes local and global strategy creation and delivery.


My role as Head of Engineering NL still applies as we could not appoint a replacement yet.



Head of Engineering, NL and France
05/2015 – present
Ericsson Broadcast and Media Services

Responsible for delivering projects to customers in the Netherlands and France. The team consists of ~30 highly skilled broadcast and IT staff, ranging from project engineers, consultants and solution architects. In 2016 all engineering managers got a shared responsibility to manage infrastructure as well – which in Hilversum had the added responsibility for the team that manages the in-house datacenter.
The team was, and still is, moving from a waterfall way of working to an Agile, squad based one, using Kanban to make work visible, limiting Work in Progress, and speeding up delivery. This is still on-going today and will need work and guidance from me still.
In 2016, I promoted one of the local staff to manage the Paris hub –which needs some coaching on a weekly basis.
