Thomas Abramse – Chief Consulting & Data Literacy

Thomas AbramseOrganizations that finally want to take action and get the most out of their IT investments have come to the right place. Within Passionned Group he is the ideal coach, trainer and sparring partner when it comes to promoting data literacy and data-driven work within organizations. From his solid base as a full stack BI specialist and as an experienced manager Thomas succeeds in passing on the finer points of data analysis to managers and employees on the work floor. Besides the technical side, he always has an eye for the human side.

After a propaedeutic in computer science, a bachelor in electrical engineering and a master in policy, communication and organization at the Amsterdam VU, Thomas has developed into a passionate data professional. If you choose him, he will ensure that your organization gets the maximum return from KPIs, data and dashboards. Customers such as ING, RTL Netherlands, Dunea, Reggefiber, Amgen, AutoBinck and Athlon Car Lease have already benefited from his data-driven approach.

Although Thomas has done this before and has opened up many data sources and produced hundreds of reports, he knows better than anyone how difficult it can be to find the right specifications. Finding out “the question behind the question” is almost a sport in itself for him. He then helps organizations to make the data available, after which the employees themselves can make the analyses. This is how you achieve the maximum learning effect, according to him.

Laura Seeling de Brito – Chief Marketing Officer

Laura Seeling de BritoAfter earning her high school diploma at the Swiss International School in Rio de Janeiro, the always studious Laura went to study at the International University of Bad Honnef. This is a private, state-approved college located in Bad Honnef, Germany. The university offers campus-based, distance and blended-learning programs in German and English.

Laura loves to immerse herself in other cultures. For example, she attended an exchange program at the Swiss International School of Basel and a summer program at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).

After earning a bachelor’s degree in International Management, majoring in Marketing, Laura came to live in the Netherlands and gained her first work experience. She learned the intricacies of business development, sales, acquisition, affiliate marketing and social media. During her studies she already came into contact with IT applications such as Microsoft Office, SAS Business Analytics and SAP SE applications. Armed with this knowledge she joined Passionned Group as Chief Marketing Officer.

Laura is an exponent of Generation Z, a generation for whom life without the Internet is unthinkable. Born with the proverbial smartphone in her hand, she is one of the digital natives.

The customer, the citizen, the student, the patient or employee must be touched by this in a positive way and be set in motion towards an improvement goal. Every day. BI and AI are done for the customer and implemented in light of the mission and organizational strategy.
