Technology to help people learn

Apart from being a developer I am also a teacher, because I really like helping people learn. At aNewSpring I combine these things and develop a technique that gives others the option to share knowledge. Also, I think it’s great that we develop things which are really used and found useful by our clients.

I love people. It sounds silly like that, but I am really fascinated by what drives others. Whether it’s the members of our team, or the customers we serve, or even just the guy at the bus stop. Remaining inquisitive and open to how others see the world drives me to learn more everyday.

I experience life as a learning process. I try to take everything in and love to learn from others. My fascination for nature and other cultures stimulates me to look at the world from a different point of view. All aNewSpring users are very different from each other, and I learn something new from them every day. I really get a kick out of helping them create interesting learning journeys.

I became a programmer because I love getting computers do what I want them to do. After my internship at aNewSpring I was told I could become a member of the IT Team. Which was great, because both the aNewSpring team and platform are nice to work with/on.

The atmosphere here at aNewSpring is great. I think learning is something you do little by little every day, so that’s why I like to work with a product which makes that possible.

I love it when our team and our clients act as one, innovating learning to really helping people learn more effective. Gandhi once said: Learn like you will live forever. I like to live by that thought even though I do have a challenge in learning being dyslectic. For me studying was an uphill battle. Therefore I’m extra motivated to be a part of the innovation of learning.

The thing I like the most about my job as a Business Developer, is that I have daily conversations with people who have refreshing ideas about learning. This allows me to learn a lot about what’s going in different types of branches. This gives me a great energy boost!

Making others successful, that’s what motivates me every day. I used to do that as sales manager, but now I help our clients implementing our application and building great, successful training products. If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you. I learn by experiencing and am determined to experience a lot more in the future.

There are three things I love to do most: Entrepreneuring, travelling and cooking a great meal. I always need to keep improving myself on these topics, find my boundaries and learn from my mistakes. When I was a trainer I was searching for ways to make sure my students would not forget what I taught them. Because I could not find a solution that suited my business I started aNewSpring.

In my working field it is very important to stay up to date with the latest trends and developments in usability and interface design. I want people to be happy when they use the product, so obviously learning about all those things is part of my job.

Being an Account Executive at aNewSpring, I look for a match with training providers. We really like it to do business when we can actually help a client, or even add value to their organization. That’s what makes me happy. You wouldn’t sell shoes to someone without feet, would you?
The most important thing at aNewSpring is the clients’ client, so the learner. If learners are successful, we are successful. In my opinion that is a beautiful philosophy, and I love to contribute to that every day!

You may call me a fan of learning – I’ve studied for 11 years! Not because I was bad at it, but because I really wanted to learn a lot. This resulted in a variety of diplomas, from a Master in Music to Biomedical Sciences and Electrical Engineering. I love learning.
