Roelf's Experience

Roelf has been working with computers and people since the mid-1960's.During his career, he had the opportunity to gain both technical and managerial experience with all of the aspects of information technology - application development, operations management and project management. He has been a CIO, and handled major turnaround assignments in IT organizations in both the private and public sectors.

Roelf has had both executive and interim executive posts, usually with a change orientation. His consulting practice has spanned the financial services, transportation, energy and non-profit sectors.

Roelf is an experienced facilitator, mediator and dispute resolver. He has worked extensively with modern competency based approaches to human resource management. He has been involved in the "training for trainers" of facilitators. His executive coaching experience called upon these interpersonal skills, as well as his extensive success in developing subordinates who have gone to succeed in their own careers.

Roelf's graduate studies are in work place psychology. Early in his career, as an IT project manager and IT executive, he realized that technology problems in organizations are ultimately people problems. Consequently, he chose to expand his personal expertise in organizational behavior when he went to graduate school later in his career.
