PROJECT MANAGER
ANNE BEEFTINK
Anne combines a sharp analytical eye with a genuine curiosity about people. As a former industrial designer, she has a deep understanding of how innovation comes to life: not just by developing smart solutions, but by truly understanding what people, clients, team members, and stakeholders, really need.
She pairs her creativity with strategic insight, whether it comes to designing products, improving processes, or exploring new opportunities. She is skilled at translating user needs into thoughtful solutions.
Anne takes on different perspectives to map and weigh various interests, and draws energy from working collaboratively toward solutions. She creates a context in which a team can perform at its best.
“TRUE INNOVATION HAPPENS WHERE HUMAN NEEDS AND BUSINESS INTERESTS MEET.”
ANNE’S STRENGTHS
Anne’s greatest strength lies in observing and connecting. She reads people quickly and accurately, ensuring that team members and stakeholders feel seen and heard. This makes her a valuable presence in both internal teams and external stakeholder settings.
She communicates with confidence, enjoys negotiating, and knows how to combine business acumen with human sensitivity. She thrives on finding common ground when interests conflict.
Anne is curious, engaged, and unafraid to take a clear position when needed. At the same time, she keeps people at the center of her work, which makes her a natural, coaching-style project manager. She embraces complexity: analyzing large amounts of information, distilling it to its essence, and translating it into clear language and actionable tasks.
ANNE’S EXPERIENCE
Anne brings extensive experience as a designer in product development, with a focus on complex consumer products. She has worked across the full trajectory from concept to realization, developing in-depth expertise in manufacturability, material selection, and process design. She initiated the replacement of a PVC component with a more sustainable alternative and made the impact on production, investment, and business case transparent.
Anne is a nature lover. In her spare time, she enjoys working on her home and garden.
