Hi! I am Willem Reus
Made, not born.
Is a man simply what he does for a living? If you think so; I am a customer success manager and help my relations grow better through strategic consulting @ HubSpot. But I do not believe so. We are not just made by the challenges we faced, but what we have overcome and by providing resilience and persistence.
BIOGRAPHY
Experience with working independently within a larger organisation, where every decision should be made accountable, but where it was equally important to casually explain why the cost-offer I made was best for the client. Careful planning due to time-pressure and managing the business relations is what sets me apart. I also love to work with colleagues, share my knowledge and learn from others. As son of a freelance computer programmer I have problem-solving skills for many mainstream client based computer programs, including Windows and Office and helped out with complex issues since I was little. As a hobby I build websites and do some programming.
