In 2001 heb ik The 6PC Network opgericht (kortweg 6PC), een internationaal netwerk voor gay professionals, met uiteindelijk zo’n 5.000 leden in 145 landen. Het doel was om informatie uit te wisselen, advies te verlenen en kortingen te verkrijgen.
Als Chairman en Communications Officer was ik verantwoordelijk voor het opzetten en onderhouden van de website, blogs, nieuwsbrieven, communicatie met de leden, sponsorwerving en het organiseren van meetings in ca. 20 landen.
Er was een bestuur, verdeeld over 5 landen.
In 2011, toen er vele alternatieven beschikbaar waren, hebben wij de website gesloten en een Facebook groep geopend om de taken van het netwerk over te nemen.
Testimonials
I have known Alfred for more than a decade and have worked with him on The 6PC Network for many years. As the visionary Alfred is he had created this online network far ahead of today’s social platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn.
His extraordinary motivational and communicational skills allowed him to assemble a team in which everyone was able to contribute in their best possible way. Alfred leads by example and is open minded. His social skills and general empathy keep the ‘fun factor’ alive while focus is kept on the mutually defined results.
The combination of Alfred’s professional experience in marketing and his natural networking abilities ensured a continuos stream of new ideas to grow the network further and to overcome the various obstacles and unavoidable downs in the ten-year project.
I would like to work with Alfred again at any time and recommend him wholeheartedly!”
