Ton Van Der Hoeve

Collaboration Consultant

Started in NAM as a self-made Sheller in the famous 80s - no cell phones, no internet. My first job ever? - sweeping a warehouse’s floor, but after this temp job I joined NAM in the logistics area supporting offshore operations, moving land and work over rigs for years. I moved to contracting and procurement department next and started a real office job as Buyer and Contract Management Support. At the birth of the internet, my interest in everything World Wide Web related was born and I moved into IT Web Design and Information Management. Becoming an expert in online matters provided an opportunity in a new profession during reorganization - Collaboration Consultant and I worked in this very interesting space for the last 9 years. It was my best move in a total of 32 years in Shell. Sometimes your job does not exist yet and you have to wait for it!
