Niels Meijer

Manager Online

About me

Hi, I'm Niels. I’m a Dutch web professional with over 30 years of working experience. At this moment I am managing the web- and CRM teams for Alpina Online (Alpinagroup)

Throughout my career I’ve been developing solutions for all sorts of businesses, both as architect and developer on a wide variety of projects. I am used to work with all stakeholders within a project and I have excellent communication skills which makes me qualified to set up and lead development teams.

My main focus as manager online is to let my teams perform better and increase the quality of our output. With my experience and trackrecord I contribute to my teams by providing knowledge and structure. I'm a sparring partner within the teams as wel as within the whole organization.
