Work Experience

2005 - 2010, Manager ICT, Board Member, Overtoom International
Overtoom International is part of the Paris based Manutan Group

Overtoom is one of Holland’s strongest brands. Delivering on the promise to customer drives the business every day, where the drive for operational excellence has formed the business. Being a distant seller all customer contacts run through information systems. To support this, a comprehensive IT landscape is maintained centred around ERP, CMS, Web and Business Intelligence. Rock-solid transactional systems are combined, with the innovative solutions for event driven and mass personalized marketing.

Joost had shared responsibility for divisional turnover and profitability (TO 2008 Euro 150 million) and full responsibility for the IT budget (budget 2008 Euro 5 million). Based in the Netherlands and in France, he led operations and projects. Joost reported to the corporate CIO, managed 3 team managers, and had indirect responsibility for 16 FTE.

Achievement: Joost changed the divisional IT organisation into a customer focussed and professional service provider, ensuring service delivery while reducing the budget from 5.6% to 3.1% of turnover. The application landscape was made more customer centric by integrating ERP, customer relation functions and warehouse management. Joost successfully introduced program management to increase the success rate of change projects. He used business intelligence to further integrate information processes throughout the company, resulting in a state of the art event driven, mass personalised and cross medial marketing competence. Amongst the technical projects were the outsourcing of non-core tasks and the standardisation of the European infrastructure. In the last year Joost successfully integrated the divisional IT team into the French organisation.

Joost’s role within the Overtoom board grew from being the information specialist to being a overall strategy expert with an excellent international network across many disciplines of the company.

Achievement: In one year, he achieved measurable results in increased customer satisfaction and management appreciation. His last project at Contiweb started when Goss International (US) acquired the Web division from Heidelberger Drückmachinen. Within 17 weeks, the complete IT landscape was carved-out and rebuilt, impacting 2000 users in the US, France and the Netherlands.

2000 – 2002, Change Manager, Evident Interactive

Evident Interactive designs and builds complex web applications for e-commerce and CRM.
When Joost joined Evident Interactive in 2000, the company was going through a stormy growth phase. Joost was added to the management team in a free role to facilitate that growth. Under his responsibility processes were redesigned, professionalised and were made measurable, and a new support organisation was created. The software development department was restructured by introducing Quality Control and planning. The new processes demanded new competences from employees and managers. He created new profiles, and recruited and coached a new middle management.
