About me:

my background

Hi! My name is Lars Heemskerk. I hold an bcomm in Digital communications and a MSc in data analytics and project management. Over the years I’ve gained experience managing a wide range of projects in different sectors and of different sizes. Working on these projects I realised that I get particularly enthusiastic about projects with a social data driven aim. I’ve experienced how data and new media can improve processes and solve a lot small and large scale challenges.

my profile

Having lived and worked in The Netherlands, Australia, Sri Lanka, Benin, Mali and Indonesia I belief I have developed the competence of sound intercultural understanding. I have the ability to easily click with others and understand quickly what needs to be done. I am strong in getting new initiatives off the ground with a can-do and hands-on mentality. Although I can do a great part of my work on my own and on distance , I know it requires teamwork to succeed. I speak, write and read fluently in Dutch, English and French. This combined with my experience and background I can help organisations to make their work more visible and meaningful through interactive data visualisation, website optimisation and applying online marketing strategies.

my core values

Positive: I approach my work positively and do it with pleasure

Open: I am open and honest my communication

Responsible: I take full responsibility of the work that I deliver

Lifelong learning: I keep developing myself and I am open to continue learning every day.
