After that I continued this role at the headquarters where I was responsible for the PM process worldwide. I really enjoyed working in an international and multi-disciplined team.

In my final project at ABN Amro I was as change manager responsible for the integration of the two HR organizations Fortis-ABN Amro responsible for all the change interventions and cultural integration .
