Project management is the process of planning, organizing, and overseeing tasks and resources to achieve specific goals within a defined timeframe. It involves defining project objectives, creating a detailed plan, allocating resources, managing risks, and monitoring progress to ensure the project stays on track. Project managers coordinate team efforts, manage budgets, and communicate with stakeholders to ensure successful project completion, often using methodologies like Agile, Scrum, or Waterfall to guide the process.
Event management is the process of planning, organizing, and executing events such as conferences, weddings, festivals, or corporate gatherings. It involves coordinating logistics, selecting venues, managing budgets, handling invitations, and ensuring all aspects of the event run smoothly. Event managers work closely with clients, vendors, and teams to create memorable experiences, addressing any challenges that arise and ensuring the event meets its objectives and the attendees’ expectations.
Consulting is a professional service where experts provide advice and solutions to organizations or individuals to help them solve specific problems, improve performance, or achieve goals. Consultants analyze a client’s situation, identify challenges, and offer strategic recommendations or implement changes across areas such as business strategy, operations, technology, finance, or marketing. Their role often involves gathering data, conducting research, and using their specialized knowledge to guide clients toward informed decisions and successful outcomes.

Some recommendations
“Ben is one of those rare colleagues who really makes a difference in a team that produces and manages an entertainment related project. His personality and management skills, always being correct to the people whom he works for or those who work for him and the way he presents himself are fantastic. Knowing Ben since 1992 through Disneyland Paris Resort, we have worked together on many projects and very intensively on the King Abdullah Sport City inauguration cermenoy (see also https://www.vimeo.com/99174059). I am looking forward to working with Ben again, wherever, whenever.”
Hans Deuze – Director Design & Production – Puy du Fou Nederland BV
“Ben is for me the role model for a project manager, he is hands-on, knowledgeable, respectful, has an eye for detail, not only for the material or construction, but also for the human element. He works intelligently and tiresome. I would recommend him to any of my clients in the future.”
Koert Vermeulen – Founder & Principal Designer – ACTLD Experience Design
“I had the great pleasur to work with “Ben” on several occasion for projects to be done in a very tight schedule. He did not only an outstanding job delivering on time but he is consistent and reliable with a good spirit and many good ideas and implementation to help the project in a good spirit, he is very easy to work with and “cherry on the cake” has good sense of humour which helped a lot when sometimes people were getting nervous because of the stress
I highly recommend…”
