B. SUMMARY
I am a very experienced (since 1993) consultant in the Service Management domain, with a
focus on supporting ITSM tooling, especially ServiceNow, HP Service Manager and associated
products.
The common success factor for my assignments is my ability to help the customer identify and
fine tune business requirements and translate these into solutions, within the out-of-the-box
capabilities of the available tooling, or in terms of customizations where this is not possible. To
me, implementing and deploying these solutions is the natural next step. For this, I consider
myself an all-round consultant.
My strong points are:
• Creative and analytically strong, both when it comes to identifying, analyzing and
implementing new functional requirements and when it comes to analyzing and solving
issues with existing solutions.
• Not afraid of the unknown; able to quickly gather and adopt new knowledge and provide
added value based on that new knowledge, especially outside my own area of expertise.
• Able to think out-of-the-box, but also outside the box.
• Very pragmatic and solution oriented.

C. WORK EXPERIENCE
ANIMO Consultancy BV (January 2004 – now)
As a self-employed ITSM consultant I have been involved in a wide range of projects and
assignments, mostly related to ServiceNow and HP ServiceManager / BTO, at a large number
of different customers. Sometimes engaged directly, sometimes via partners such as HP,
LogicalisSMC, IBM Global Services and KPMG Consulting.
IBM / ABNAMRO (May 2015 – July 2016)
To ready the organization for a new outsourcing contract between ABNAMRO and IBM, a
transformation program is initiated within IBM. Part of this program is the implementation of
the ServiceNow ITSM suite.
My main contribution to this transformation program has been the implementation of a master
data driven Catalog Management System that allows the customer to order complex IT
Topologies from various Cloud Provisioning parties through a single portal.
Philips (August 2015 – April 2016)
Philips is separating the organization into two separate entities. To support this separation,
throughout the organization a large amount of back-office applications need to be split. The HP
SM9 based Case Management System of the Philips Global HR department is one of these
applications.
I have been responsible for designing the split strategy for the CMS personally, as well as for
implementing and executing the strategy successfully together with a co-worker.
Rabobank G-ICT (May 2012 – March 2015)
After being migrated from HPSC 6.x to HPSM 9.11, the customer faces a large number issues
with the new implementation. After overcoming these issues, the next step for the customer is
to grow their support-only organization into a development organization.
My list of main contributions to this account includes:
• Coaching members of the team towards the next level.
• Adding in-depth root cause analysis capacity to the team, helping the customer to get
control over their post-migration issues and stabilize their system.
• Designing and implementing a release deployment strategy, which allows the customer to
combine separate developments from various sources (internal projects, support team,
software vendor) into single releases.
• Upgrading the HP SM 9.11 system to HP SM 9.34.
• Implementing of HP Release Control.
• Establishing ticket integration between HP BSM/OMi and HP SM.
• Re-implementing the SSO Framework.
• Designing and implementing the HP CLIP strategy (Closed Loop Incident Process,
encompassing uCMDB, BSM/OMi, OO en SM9), in cooperation with HP.
• Several major and minor HP SM9 releases with functional enhancements and bug fixes.
