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 feel free to contact
