Personalia P. Visser (Paul) Van der Boechorststraat 48 1081 BV Amsterdam Telephone: 020-6464968 Mobile: 06-47102490 Email: paul.visser@southpaw.nl Date of birth: Amsterdam, 28 December 1956 Profile People whom I have worked with tell me my best quality is my ability to listen, react in a calm and tactful way and then start working in a team to create a solution that exactly meets the clients needs. I can analyze situations, work in a structured way and I am flexible enough to adapt to situations without giving up my own integrity. With a long experience as user, supplier and enabler in various ICT disciplines I have specialized in project management. Managing project members as well as motivating them and being a partner for management, I like to be involved in a project from the creation of the business case until the successful implementation and evaluation. I like to make sure that the solution that is offered exactly meets the clients needs. Not just the result but also the way this result was created is very important to me. In the company that I have started with four colleagues, Bologna Adviesgroep, I am the one that makes sure that we carry out what we have invented. I am often called the conscience of the company. In 2010 I have started Kaleidoscope Software, a company that sells licenses for BoldStroke, an online change management toolkit.
