What people say
Do not just take my word..
Annelies kick-started an important piece of the puzzle in developing sustainable tourism in the most remote area of Uganda by conducting the first research in the capacity gap within the regional tourism sector and coordinated the initiative called ‘Karamoja Tourism Academy’.
Annelies proved to be the perfect person with her background in employment law, human resource management and a passion for Africa and traveling. She also supported my organisation in raising awareness of human resource management, personal development and environmental sustainability. We support and believe in her organisation Napeyok and hope to have her back soon!

Annelies was my People Manager at Talent & Pro for over two years. During this period I got to know Annelies as a very involved and helpful manager. Annelies has always thought along with my wishes and has properly represented my interests within the organisation. As a coach, Annelies asks the right questions about the plans and goals I set for myself in the context of my personal and career development. Annelies takes the time to think along with you, she is always friendly and helpful.

In early 2019 I worked together with Annelies in establishing the Karamoja Tourism Academy, we conducted a feasibility study and translated our findings into a solid strategic plan. Now, the first pilot of the academy has already started! The success of it can to a large extent be attributed to the hard work of Annelies. She continuously had to identify and act upon the different needs and interests in conditions that were not always favourable.
Annelies is structured, versatile, and keeps track of the larger picture while keeping an eye of the smaller details as well. Moreover with her pragmatic and humorous personality she was a lot of fun to work with!

Annelies is a down to earth HR professional. I had a somewhat vague issue that she translated into a concrete solution for our start-up in no time. In a very short time, I had a completely new structure for my HR policy. It’s great that it can be done so resolutely!
