5 questions to Jacqueline Bloemen
What’s your favorite song?
It’s difficult to pick one single song from so many decades, but I like rock and blues rock from the 60s and 70s a lot, for example, Cream (Sunshine of Your Love), The Doors (Riders on the Storm), Led Zeppelin (Stairway to Heaven) and Gary Moore (Parisienne Walkways).
What’s the coolest thing about working at BARC?
Every day I’m continuously engaging with new topics and technologies while supporting a broad variety of customers. And that is good because repetitive tasks are not my thing at all. As a result, I’m never bored at BARC, even after so many years.
What’s your favorite food?
Fresh hand-made pasta (with fillings), fresh bolete mushrooms, white truffles from the Piedmont region.
What do you like to do in your free time?
Mountain biking, mountain hiking, running, skiing, cooking, gourmandizing and wine, listening to rock, blues and blues rock (ideally in a live concert setting).
How did you come to join BARC?
Mike Ferguson, an analyst and old friend from the UK connected Carsten and me back in mid-2005. Back then, BARC was still focused on BI applications and looking to bolster its ranks with more data management expertise.
