Ms. Tanya Dimitrova
Chartered digital marketeer with great passion for digital marketing and developments in the field. I am inspired and love to teach students about the impact of digital on our lives and how to use digital to make a positive impact. I have been developing and coordinating digital marketing programs for the past 10 years rated as best practice and consulting many companies during this time.
Favorite quote: “Be the change you want to see in the world”, Gandhi
Mr. Thomas Hamer
Look Across Borders…That’s what I do by nature. For inspiration, new ideas and digital opportunities for today’s challenges. I look across borders of profession, market and culture. Bringing people of various disciplines together to develop strategic and creative solutions. Thereby bridging borders between business, technology and design.
Mr. Kostas Kaimakis
Former brand manager with a passion in making strategic decisions and in creating roadmaps to success. Currently exploring the practices of design thinking, of growth hacking and of digital marketing (Online consumer behavior, UX, Content strategy, Social media). I always get inspired by Greek philosophy and its links to today’s business. Favorite quote: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit” by Aristotle.
Ms. Helen De Haan
Studied computer science, IBM, Economic History, and the internalisation of higher education. Traveled to, worked, and lived in 14 countries. I have stayed behind scenes with DMM for several years. This is a great programme that prepares students for the digital future in multiple facets. I am excited to keep on learning more with you all!
Mr. Zouhair Saddiki
As a researcher and analyst, I was always interested in the cross-fertilization between Digitalization and Economics. With business and governmental experiences from the field of policy and finance-economics I studied and examined several policy areas when it comes to these challenges (i.e. GDPR ruling etc.). I try to challenge students to specialize on the opportunities in the face of challenges to key questions on digital marketing. In other words, ”out-of-the-box”-thinking. My experiences with digital marketing extended from governmental institutions to political campaigns. Having several research skills and organizational experiences, I also try to learn new stuff on programming such as Python, SQL and Java.
Ms. Safira Van Toor
A former marketing manager in the microfinance sector, once an account manager in the logistics and supply chain industry, now a lecturer of Marketing & Sales and a consultant of the Digital Marketing Minor program. My purpose for joining education was on a give-and-take basis i.e. share knowledge and gain knowledge (learning alongside).So far so good, not much to complain but much to give. Apart from my career life, I am a proud mum of 2, a Christian and a career content creator. Looking forward to being your consultant!
Ms. Petra Hanzlikova
I have been working in the field of marketing for various large international companies and since 4 years I have been really enjoying working with young people at the University. It is my pleasure to be part of the digital marketing team in order to support students in the process of learning, discovering, and last but not least to enjoy the course and the process of learning. We teach and learn the content and the process, but also the less obvious theories/strategies. And finally we learn even more about ourselves. I have more favourite quotes, one of them is: “If it is up to be it is up to me.” Next to being a lecturer I am also a coach and internship & thesis supervisor.
Ms. Simone Diop
I’m an enthusiastic and driven business/personal coach, lecturer & International project manager, with an international upbringing and education. I’m an individual with an entrepreneurial mind that wishes to contribute to social, sustainable and innovative projects that empower individuals, communities and our (international) society as a whole. Motto; Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
Ms. Anastasia Lanting
I got my expertise in digital marketing while working in Philips global digital marketing team and running my own digital marketing agency with international clients. I love sharing my passion, knowledge and experience with students so they can get cutting edge online marketing skills. I am happy to be a part of our strong Digital Marketing Minor Team!
