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
