Currently: Manager New Business Development at Philips Consumer Lifestyle, Amsterdam & Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Working on new business opportunities for Philips to expand the product portfolio of Domestic Appliances and Consumer Electronics by initiating new innovation cycles/programs in the pre-development sites. This translates also in knowing what competition does, so I have a room full of the latest and greatest competitors TVs, Apple iPads, PS3, etc. all the gadgets you can think of I HAVE to buy for work


Previous: Project Manager Connectivity and Interactivity at Philips Consumer Lifestyle, Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Mainly working on innovation projects for our current Philips NetTV products and services. Also have been stationed for 5 months in Bangalore, India on my own request for foreign experience in 2009. That was a nice experience.

Forgot one job I did in the very past that I consider to be called my previous life:

I have been a professional road cyclist/mountainbiker for 8 years! In the last 4 years I setup my own team, dealt with sponsor acquisitions, raced all over the world at the cross-county Worldcups and European cup incl. testing/racing the Olympic mountainbike race course in Beijing 2004. It demanded a lot from my body, mind and social life, but still I am happy I came so far.
I stopped racing bikes in 2005 (I was 27 then) when I met my current girlfriend, finished my MsC in Technology Interaction & Innovation Sciences and I got the opportunity to start at Philips. Top level cycling you can only do until your 35 at a professional level. Got to have a backup plan

I am still very much interested in cycling and regularly train with friends and watch races on TV.

Some awesome jobs on here, have always wanted to work in something aerospace or submarine related as its the kind of stuff i've always loved, but like Ross, have ended up in IT.
Never too late to change as people say but its knowing what to look for and how to go about it !!
