I am Jannie Minnema, Director of Business Operations for Oracle in the Benelux. My career at Oracle started at Oracle Headquartes in San Francisco as a Project Manager, building Computer Based Training Products. After spending 3 years in Dubai, my husband
and I moved to the USA as he wanted to study a MBA there. This move kick started my career as I was working in Silicon Valley during a time of great opportunity. After the USA, I fulfilled numerous roles at Oracle ranging from Project Management to Sales
and Marketing. I currently work in the Netherlands were I am now Director of Business Operations for Oracle in the Benelux
and a member of the Dutch Management Team. Business Operations advises the Benelux Management Team
and focuses on topics such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Customer Satisfaction, Internal Communication, Internal training
and effective usage of Sales Tools
and Systems. We are currently also working on how best to introduce a “New way of Working”. The move to our new office building in 2011 aides in creating the right environment for this. Our goal is to continually improve the organisation. I enjoy working for Oracle because there is never a dull moment,
and I am continuously challenged to improve. The environment that I work in changes constantly.
Look at all the recent acquisitions; over 60 in the past 3 years! If you, as an Oracle employee, see something that can be done better, like a new service or tool, then combine it with some enthusiasm, motivate it further
and the (Oracle) world changes! Internships This summer we have a number of Internships available, coordinated by the Business Operations team. We very much
look forward to welcoming Students in our Dutch office. We
look at it as an opportunity for both Oracle
and the Interns to learn from each other. It will definitely result in both parties improving, growing
and achieving results! We offer Internships related to Sales, Marketing
and New Technology. You can find the assignments here. During the Internship you will experience what is like to work for an international
and dynamic company, where we work
and play hard. Our customers are major Dutch companies
and our employees are professionals that compare working at Oracle with playing a Soccer World Cup final. We offer several Internships at the same time, so you will learn
and share your experiences with a group of fellow students. If you have any questions related to this article
