My environment describes me as an energetic and dynamic dynamic person. I am particularly proud of having founded and managed a business that set a new standard for the nightlife of Internationals' of The Hague. Next to this I also have a track record within sales for a major TELECOM company in the Netherlands, whether it was face-to-face, cold calling or door-to-door sales. Furthermore I am someone who has the ability to work in a high demanding and a diverse industry such as IT; whether it was working in the back office for an e-commerce web shop, or working alongside highly regarded partners of a multinational power house with deals going for an excess of over five-figures on a weekly basis. Furthermore I am an enthusiastic listener when it comes to customers' challenges, the latter is in order to anchor a sustainable relationship and ultimately create solutions for them. This implies having a 'customer is king' mind-setting. Lastly but not least, having experience in handling and procuring for clientele worth millions in materials within the OIL and GAS industry.
