Roles
Senior Project Manager
Own critical cloud, infrastructure and data-centre projects — live services, multi-vendor, recovery and continuity.
Senior project ownership where enterprise infrastructure or continuity is at stake. Hands-on on planning, RAID, vendors and delivery — not a coordinator chasing other people's work. Suited to recovery, regulated environments and data-centre or cloud work that has to stay live. Adoption sits inside the project, not as a separate assignment.
How I approach this role
- Take ownership of the critical path in the first days — scope, risk, budget and who decides
- Combine governance with technical standing so sponsors trust the calls
- Recover troubled delivery with short escalation (as at UWV-VMI)
- Keep live services up while vendors and stacks move (St Antonius Groenekan; Sanquin Amsterdam DCs)
- Leave a handover that operations can run
Relevant experience
- St Antonius Ziekenhuis (2016): data-room move from the hospital's own site to Groenekan under NEN 7510, zero impact on live services; signed client evaluation 9/10
- Sanquin (2018–2019): network-standard upgrade and dataroom moves to Amsterdam DCs, including full rack recabling
- Troubled-project recovery (UWV-VMI): PRINCE2 reinstated, strict risk and budget control
- BT Senior Project Manager (2006–2016): cloud, infrastructure and data-centre delivery, including the €21M Nieuwegein/Rotterdam expansion (new data centre and two new data halls) and CEVA lift-and-shift
- Continuity-critical moves and live multi-vendor work — still hands-on on planning, RAID, vendors and handover
