Ik ben een projectmanager met vijftien jaar internationale ervaring in het leveren van complexe, multi-stakeholder initiatieven in technologie, financiële dienstverlening en gereguleerde sectoren. Ik heb een geregistreerd adviesbureau — Crossmedia — opgericht en negen jaar lang geleid, actief in zeven landen tegelijkertijd.

Het werk was bijzonder gevarieerd: het coördineren van een 360° digitale strategie in vier Afrikaanse landen voor Vodafone; het ontwerpen van een kredietverzekeringsproduct en een filiaalanalyseprogramma voor een Mozambikaanse bank; het beheren van een high-stakes multi-channel campagne met 22M+ uniek bereik; het opbouwen van twee technologieplatformen van nul tot marktleiderschap voor Naspers.

Ik bezit zeventien professionele certificeringen, waaronder Google Project Management, ISO 13485, EU MDR 2017/745, IBM Generative AI for Project Managers en Agile met Atlassian Jira. Portugees als moedertaal — een echte troef op de Belgische markt voor rollen met Lusofone verbindingen.

OLX Angola & Mozambique — Taking Two Markets to Category Leadership

Naspers had acquired OLX and was expanding into emerging markets. Angola and Mozambique were early-stage with no traction. I was brought in to own both simultaneously — and took them to category leadership.

Wat ik deed

Before any operational expansion, I developed a market entry study for both countries — audience opportunity, traffic projections, competitive landscape, investment case — presented to Naspers and instrumental in securing formal investment approval.

Annual paid media budget of €350K+ across Google AdWords and Facebook. Full buy management, IT/Marketing/CX coordination across both markets, and the data analysis driving a strategic channel shift that doubled reach at the same spend. Combined digital investment exceeded €2M+ over two years.

De markttoetredingsstrategie werd behandeld in de Portugese pers — Visão / Lusa (aug 2013).

Moza Banco — Product Design & Customer Intelligence in Banking

Full-time Marketing Officer at one of Mozambique's established commercial banks, reporting directly to the administration. Three parallel mandates across product, analytics, and agency oversight — all inside a regulated financial environment.

Wat ik deed

Insurance product design: Built a complete credit card insurance product for 1,763 accounts across three tiers — coverage specs, pricing model, competitive benchmarking against two providers. Ready for regulatory review.

Branch analytics: Designed and administered a national customer onboarding survey across 30+ branches covering activation rates, cross-sell, credit awareness, and salary domiciliation. Segmented by region and customer tier. Operational intelligence feeding management reporting directly.

Agency audit: Independent review of the bank's external digital agency — spend efficiency, campaign performance, ROI. Findings presented to leadership.

Vodafone Uganda / Afrimax — 360° Strategy Across Four Markets

Afrimax Group needed a comprehensive digital strategy for its NGSME product line across Uganda, Ghana, Zambia, and Cameroon simultaneously — different digital maturity, different competitive dynamics. One coherent framework, localised per market.

Wat ik deed

Started with a Google Analytics audit of the existing digital presence — 618,440 sessions across 10 markets, identifying traffic patterns, conversion gaps, and behaviour. This evidence base drove all strategic recommendations.

Full competitive landscape mapped per market. Delivered: audience segmentation and personas, channel prioritisation with rationale, content framework, influencer recommendations, and a KPI framework mapped to business objectives. Coordinated across four country teams via project boards.

Dieci Volte Meglio — Italian National Election Campaign, 2018

Contracted 25 days before Italy's national legislative elections to own the digital campaign end-to-end for a political movement with 11 candidates across multiple regions. No runway. Every day mattered.

Wat ik deed

Two-phase paid media structure agreed with 202 Strategies (Washington DC). Phase 1 concentrated spend behind primary digital assets. Phase 2 shifted to direct voter mobilisation in the final week.

I owned the Facebook Ads account entirely: campaign architecture, audience segmentation across 11 candidates and regional constituencies, creative testing, and the digital media tracker coordinating the full team across London, Rome, and Washington DC. Content coordination across 6 platforms, managing assets and regional candidate teams. Daily tracking reports throughout. Flew to Rome for two weeks to work in-person.
