Willem O.

I am a Dutch national, vintage 1948 and a long time veteran of the IT-industry. For most of my professional life to date I have held positions in various European countries (Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland). Due to a restriction in my mobility, in 2002 I exchanged my job for online freelance activities. My strengths are: - Fluency in verbal and written Dutch, English and German, sufficiency in French - Professional writing, documentation and translation skills in/between these languages - Extensive expertise in system management, office applications, accounting and bookkeeping - Background in business management, operations management, company development (M&A, restructuring), financial management and business law (contracts, litigation, intellectual property rights). I am at the service of my clients in all above areas, focusing on quality rather than quantity. This also means that my billing rate, though competitive, is not geared towards prize fighting. I am, however, gladly prepared to engage in a no risk "proof of concept", and/or to agree on fixed price commitments once the scope is clear to both parties. Please allow me to demonstrate the mutual benefits of a business relationship.
