Corporate experience in IT
Van Doorn-Tuinman has a passion for technology that led her to Microsoft early on. This marked the start of a career with a clear common thread: technology combined with commercial roles. She worked for nearly nine years at Microsoft, where she built her sales expertise in various positions. She then moved to Atos as Client Executive Major Cities and Market Lead Local Government. In 2021, she joined Avanade in the role of Sustainability Lead and Industry Lead, where growing the business was her main responsibility. Over the past two years, she focused primarily on supporting clients with AI-driven projects. This broad commercial expertise and passion for IT will now be utilized by van Doorn-Tuinman to further develop Fellowmind's services for clients.

'I am very excited to get started at Fellowmind,' zegt van Doorn-Tuinman. 'The focus on people that the company has aligns very well with me. For me, IT is not about bits and bytes, but about people. I find it very important that IT aligns with the goals of clients. That requires strong relationships and enough mutual trust. Building those relationships with clients is what I enjoy most about my work. When technology works for you, it becomes really interesting. At Fellowmind, I can put this vision into practice by establishing a strong sales strategy and further expanding the client base. In the past few weeks, I have already met many colleagues, and I look forward to working together and achieving our first successes.'
