My name is Lisa Somers. As of January 2017, I work as a medior consultant at Qando. After completing my Master Organization Studies at the Tilburg University, combined with a traineeship at GGZ, I have backpacked for three months in several countries in South East Asia. After this trip, I worked for Royal Ahrend for a short period of time as account coordinator. Then Qando crossed my path.
I like Qando as an organisation because of the openness, professionalism and flexibility that they express as a procurement advisory organisation. During my first interim assignment, I worked as an procurement analyst IT & Telecommunication at CRH, in Amsterdam. In this role, I conducted analytical, PMO, RfI, RfP, and contract management work for IT related procurement projects using Ariba. From December 2018, I am involved in the P2P implementation of Ariba at Isala in Zwolle, my focus is on suppleer onboarding. Since the spring (2018), I work again for CRH, however in a different role namely as Contractmanager/Buyer Non-Product Related (NPR). In my spare time, I commit myself to local politics and I would like to do hockey and running.
