"Marijke Huisman heeft een uitstekende kennis van het werk van Niccolò Machiavelli. Doordat zij zijn ideeën in het perspectief van zijn tijd weet te plaatsen, is zij in staat om het gedachtegoed van Machiavelli naar het hedendaagse management te vertalen. Marijke weet dit geheel op een prettige en interactieve manier op het publiek over te brengen. Zij blijkt tevens in staat om haar presentatie aan te sluiten op de context van de bijeenkomst. Dankzij haar heeft onze IPMA-NL regioavond een vliegende start gemaakt!"
"Sunnie delighted our audience at the Startup Challenge of the gfm Trendtagung with a very energizing and at the same time highly professional moderation."
"With her outstanding keynote presentation at the Strategy & PWC Digital Executive Summit in Grindelwald, Sunnie exceeded my expectations by far. She succeeded in shifting the conversation about a digital transformation from the technology and business dimension towards a more holistic, people-centric view. In doing so, Sunnie Groeneveld highlighted a whole range of new aspects and once again proved herself to be an expert on the subject of digital transformation."
