Introduction
Greetings! I'm Cederik, and I'm inviting you to join an exciting journey where big ideas come to life across various ventures, all driven by a common purpose – shaping a future that benefits as many people as possible.
Whether it's wearing the hat of a Co-Founder, Startup Advisor, Managing Director, Strategist, or someone who enjoys hacking things together, I bring my frameworks and hands-on experience to breathe life into ventures, make smart investments, and offer valuable consultancy services.
In the world of boardrooms, strategy sessions, and the catacombs of code, I navigate the art of project and program management to ensure ventures align with goals and deliver success, bringing ideas to life.
Whether you're after strategic advice or someone to roll up their sleeves, let's chat. Together, we'll make a positive impact, and hey, we'll try to keep those peanut butter sandwiches to a minimum along the way!
Frameworks
The Nim Framework: A Comprehensive Guide to XR Mastery
Serving as your comprehensive guide to establishing a unified language in the ever-evolving landscape of XR.
As a seasoned navigator, I provide a common language to traverse from the strategic boardroom decisions to the critical translation phase led by program and project managers. Here, we meticulously translate high-level strategy into actionable tactics and projects. Moving forward, the journey takes us into the creative realm, where design isn't just about aesthetics but a strategic effort to evoke emotions. We then descend into the catacombs of code, where engineering transforms visions into scalable machines.
The Nim Framework is your essential link, fostering a shared language between XR strategy, the crucial translation phase led by program and project managers, creative design, and robust engineering. Join me in seamlessly connecting strategy to tactics and projects, and witness your XR initiatives flourish at every stage.
