“During the many years I’ve worked together with Anke, I’ve appreciated her professional approach and exceptional skills in project management. She has been a valued partner to the organisation in all aspects of our collaboration. When we were in need of a new strategic approach towards event management and a more efficient way of organising our events, Anke took full ownership and worked out a brand new structured way of events planning that is still being used today. Besides her strategic skills, she shows a strong commitment to execute complex projects in a flawless manner, with eye for the details yet keeping the overall perspective and control.  Her excellent leadership, collaborative talent and expertise is consistently prompt and thorough and brings peace of mind. It’s a true pleasure to work with Anke!”

Chris Janssens | Waygate Technologies | Senior Marketing Communications Manager

“I’ve captured the absolute highlights of you as an event manager in Anke’s 3 Ps:
Personal (undoubtedly number one and the most distinctive aspect of your service and who you are as a person). You truly make personal connections, you see what we need as people (not just in our roles), and despite your busy schedule, I never felt like a burden to you.
Professional: schedules, agreements, follow-ups — the entire foundation of your service is perfectly in order. Not a single detail slips through the cracks. That gives such peace of mind; everything is under control. Wonderful!
Pleasure: another beautiful and distinctive quality. Managing everything professionally is great and important, but working with a bit of joy, a smile, and sometimes putting things into perspective with humor is so refreshing. For everyone who works with you — and I’m sure other parties feel the same. I, for one, truly enjoyed working with you, with pleasure.”

Andries van Bentum | Vebego | Sr. Strategy Consultant

“During the organization of L’Ortye’s 75th anniversary year, ideas were flying in all directions, but Anke brought structure to the chaos. With her excellent project-based approach, she knew exactly when to give space or when to step in, always keeping the focus on the main goal: an unforgettable anniversary year filled with a wide variety of activities!
In the preparations and even during all the events, Anke was the first to arrive and the last to leave. Involved and loyal as if it were her own celebration. Nothing was too much for her, and she always had a (quick) solution for every problem. We truly could rely on her.
Her flexible, no-nonsense way of working, combined with her friendly and respectful attitude, is inspiring and makes her a valuable asset to any project or event. So yes, I wish everyone their own Anke!”

“Once again thank you for organising another amazing EDC (European Dealer Conference) experience , as usual it was perfect. Looking forward to seeing you next year.”

Terry O’Connell | SVP Commercial Operations D+M Europe B.V | A division of Sound United

“Last year we threw the biggest event (NADC-North American Dealer Conference) we’ve ever done, and Anke was absolutely instrumental to our success. She kept us painstakingly organized, negotiated with the hotel and other vendors on our behalf, and helped us make every big decision along the way. It would have been impossible to have succeeded without her.”

Michael McCole | Head of Marketing | Sound United America

“Koraal, together with Anke, organized two large symposiums in Eindhoven. Her experience and professional approach brought calm to the preparation process. Registrations went smoothly, as did signing in the many participants for the various workshops. Even during the event, Anke is a rock and ensures everything runs smoothly. Anke quickly immersed herself in the DNA of the organization. That gave me the feeling I was working with a direct colleague rather than with ‘an external person.’ And you can ultimately see that in the quality of the event. Top-notch!”

Mehlika Schopen | Manager Communicatie | Koraal

“If all clients were like you!!! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to work with you on this project. It was the start of a great work relationship as well as a new friendship. Anke, believe us when I say the feeling is mutual. In the years I have been working in this industry I have seldom seen the commitment, dedication and enthusiasm you have shown in this project. D&M are very lucky to have you looking after them! ”

Douglas Barbaro Sant + Erika Farrugia Harding | Owners DMC MIMalta

“I really do not know if I have expressed you enough my great THANK YOU for your confidence, your professionalism, your support always, your excellent tables of excel, the wines together, and a long etc that have made me feel more comfortable working with you than with another client in my entire professional life. I wish we could continue working in other projects in the near future because working for you is much easier. And I stop, otherwise I would not finish ever…”

Olimpia Orozco | Owner DMC DirecToSpain

“Anke took on the challenge of playing a key role in the Atrium-Orbis merger program, where I served as Program Manager for Training and Change Management. Anke has a very natural style of connecting with people and bringing out the best in them. Under her responsibility, we successfully scheduled over 3,000 hospital employees into their training programs — a tremendous effort given the complexity of the scheduling process.”

Matthijs Boom | Deloitte Management Consulting | Manager

“I know (unfortunately) that you’re no longer working within the planning office — your project has come to an end. The feeling about our collaboration is completely mutual: fast, decisive, pragmatic, smart, quick to learn — you’re someone you can rely on and trust right away. These are all words that come to mind when I think of you. It’s amazing how you approach your work with such passion and energy. Thank you for everything.”

Carla Peeters | Atrium-Orbis Medisch Centrum | Adjunct RVE Manager

“I would like to thank you for another year of great preparation and support for the European Dealer Conference in Malta. It was again a pleasure to work with you and you have a great portion to make every year our EDC to a success.”

Lukas Henninghaus | D+M Group | Senior Global Marcom Manager D+M Group

“I worked closely with Anke for three years on the organization of a European dealer and press event. Anke is a highly experienced project event manager who truly thinks of everything! She ensures that you can approach an event without stress.
As a company, it’s incredibly valuable to work with someone who genuinely considers your objectives and integrates them into her work. With Anke on your “team” (because working with Anke really feels like teamwork), you can trust that everything will be arranged perfectly and well in advance.
Nothing is too difficult or too much trouble, and every detail is thoughtfully considered. Anke never loses sight of what matters most to the client — not only our company, but also the event’s attendees.On top of all that, Anke is an exceptionally pleasant and open person to work with.”

Carmen Vonken | D+M (Denon & Marantz) European Headquarters | Marketing & Communication Specialist

Drs. J. Verhagen | NV LIOF Industriebank | Algemeen Directeur

“Anke Willems-Jehne is a truly engaging personality who always makes me feel like I’m her only client and that she is fully dedicated to me. She is reliable, detail-oriented, communicates clearly, delivers professional work, and always shows genuine care for the person behind the project — these are her core strengths. I wholeheartedly recommend her, and I consistently hear nothing but praise from others as well.”

Mr. Antoine Platen | LIOF Business Centers | Directeur

“Anke is the very best I’ve ever come accross when it comes to event and conference organisation. She is very dedicated and has a wide network with contacts for every level. Besides being very detail-oriented and organised, Anke is most of all thrustworthy and knowledgable. When working with Anke, you receive a very personal and dedicated attention. Willems projectmanagement is a guarantee for the perfect event organization.”
