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.

TESTIMONIALS

"When I started my new job in Accenture, he was one of the first persons to guide me along the way. What I've come to know about Willem is that he is very helpful and he would try his all to help you out if you need more information, training or guidance at work but also outside of work. Furthermore he is an open and genuine guy to have a fun conversation with."
"A strong skill of William that I admire a lot is that he knows how to make a (complex) technical issue understandable for everyone. He knew how to explain it in clear language and guide team members or clients to the solution. Moreover, William is a very reliable colleague: he would never leave the job half done. He asks the right questions, investigates with care and communicates solutions clearly. An absolute pleasure to work with! "
"Willem is always concerned on the quality of his service delivered, he does not hesitate to take other colleagues tasks even if that will make him go home late or renounce his breaks. He is an active learner, always interested in understanding new processes and share his knowledge with his colleagues."
