1 April 2016 marks three years since I actively joined g-company as a partner to build the Salesforce Practice. I look back with gratitude: the Salesforce team now consists of ten consultants who do and have done great projects for both profit and non-profit organisations.
I discovered that g-company is cool when I first spoke to David Saris. At the time, I was still working at Capgemini as cloud-leader for Google and Salesforce and was looking for a partner in the field of Google Apps to work with. g-company stood out because of its innovative vision. I experience it as a privilege to work with David: inspiring such a visionary entrepreneur who understands the impact technological development can make for organisations!
I think one of the nice aspects of g-company is 'the new collaboration'. We are a kind of synthesis of a partnership - a cooperative and a franchise organisation - and we act like a guild, in a 'high performance team'. Our mission is to empower people and organisations using new technology. To put it in David's words:
"Let technology do what technology is good at and people do what people are good at."
That is why we choose 'born in the cloud' solutions from Google and Salesforce, innovative platforms: Salesforce for structured and Google for unstructured information.
My passion is to shape 'the new way of working together' also within a team. Using each individual's strengths, seeking out each other's strongest points and promoting diversity. I am very proud of our team: each does what he or she is good at and complements the other on the weaker points. As a result, our common ability grows and energy and enthusiasm increase. You do what you are good at and what makes you happy and get better and better at it.
