Other

Management philosophy
I was born near Rotterdam, my father was working in the Harbour and taught us to be straight, fair, and that only results count. But make sure you get the “family feeling” right, that you want to belong to the organization.
Our family motto; once you pass away, be sure you leave something behind where others can build upon. And I am doing that with my core competences to continuously develop and improve products and organizations but not without a clear purpose or goal
