Work Experience
Started as an accountant in the export business. Moved to commercial roles due to the passion for languages and people. Had his own export office before heading to NL as customer center Team Lead, moved on to a strategic commercial role in one of the Oil giants. After a few years decided to leave the comfort of a stable position as the challenge and passion have been diluted. Moved on to another international sales role/company where I find back the joy and the add value I could bring, by being responsible for certain markets.
