Over mezelf
midFields... is Raf Degrève.
Tof dat je mijn professionele web spot vond!
In een digitale functie - met sterke focus op digitale adoptie, kennisoverdracht, communicatie en training (web platform omgevingen) - heb ik +20 jaar werkervaring @ Janssen Pharmaceutica, LifeScan EMEA, Virco, Tibotec, AstraZeneca, Elanco Lilly Animal Health... zowel als interne medewerker als externe consultant (Across Health, Pauwels Consulting).
In mondiale/EMEA werkomgevingen, trainde ik vele mensen on-line, maar ook on-site van Denemarken tot Griekenland, van UK tot Portugal, van Warsaw (Indianapolis US) tot Warschau (Polen), van New Jersey en New York tot Zuid-Afrika.
Mijn favoriete rol bevindt zich tussen technische teams en klanten/eindgebruikers: zorgen dat iedereen zich comfortabel voelt met digitale apps, platformen en processen. Product demo's, online en onsite trainingen, documentatie, project follow-up, UAT, het samenbrengen en overtuigen van mensen door promotionele communicatie: DAT is mijn ding!
Ik was tevens Telenet Intranet Manager/Webmaster (communicatie afdeling), en werkte mee met de Broadband & Corporate Portal web teams. Heb een universitaire medische achtergrond (KU Leuven).
