Sil Faber
Project Manager Internationalization
As someone born and raised in Rotterdam, I may seem a bit out of place among all those northerners. Yet it no longer feels that way. Since the age of 21 I live in Groningen and by now I dare to call myself a northerner with conviction.
Within NOM, I work as a communications consultant. I advise on and work on the communication of the regional funds: the Frisian Development Company (FOM), the SME Fund Drenthe and the Investment Fund Groningen (IFG). I am also involved in Ik Ben Drents Ondernemer and the career portal Groeien begint hier. In my role, I contribute ideas about choices, priorities and the way in which initiatives are presented clearly and recognizably to entrepreneurs.
My role within Marketing & Communications focuses on ensuring that what we do is actually visible to entrepreneurs in the Northern Netherlands. Good communication helps to give direction, clarify expectations and make initiatives accessible. Because of our strong position in the region, we have an extensive network, which often makes more possible than appears at first sight.
As a northerner from Rotterdam, I look at this with fresh eyes. As far as I am concerned, we in the north can show more often what we are good at. I am happy to contribute to that within NOM.
