I'm a logistics professional through and through. A seasoned expert who effortlessly puts my extensive experience, sharp insight and craftsmanship to work to help organisations move forward. I approach new colleagues, partners and clients with genuine interest and full trust — because real connection only comes about when you're willing to trust the other person. From that basis, I'm able to get people and organisations moving.
I'm results-oriented, always see opportunities and rarely say no. I'm constantly looking for ways to make clients stronger, more future-proof and measurably more successful. Practical, concrete and with a clear focus on what works.
I listen carefully, observe sharply and give honest, direct feedback — in true Rotterdam style, no detours. I express my vision and reasoning clearly and convincingly, drawing on current logistics and supply chain theory as well as years of practical experience. I work with a high degree of professionalism and attention to detail, without losing sight of the human side. I also love playing host at home: at the table or behind the barbecue, together with family and friends. I'm a keen water-sports enthusiast too, sailing across the Netherlands and Belgium, from Texel to Maastricht and from Zoutkamp to Zeebrugge.
I'm a highly experienced logistics and supply chain manager with a strong background in offshore, maritime transport and international project logistics. I have a natural ability to quickly see the bigger picture in complex challenges and sketch out possible solutions. My Rotterdam no-nonsense mentality makes me both effective and reliable.
I know the logistics landscape like no other. With a career in EPC contracting, the offshore industry and international logistics organisations (including Huisman Equipment, SBM Offshore, ExxonMobil, Neste Oil, INEOS P1), I've built a broad foundation. From management roles in the Benelux, EMEA and worldwide, I developed and implemented supply chain solutions for clients in the offshore, EPC, maritime and heavy-lift industries, giving me in-depth expertise in 3PL and 4PL models.
Behind my calm, friendly manner is a distinctly results-oriented professional. I approach conceptual engineering from a different angle, creating advantages in budget, safety, concept development and lead times. I also provide valuable insight into trade compliance — an area that is becoming ever more important in international supply chains.
Collaboration and connection are in my DNA. Thanks to my global experience, I switch effortlessly between disciplines such as procurement, sales and production. I'm also able to involve external parties — such as government bodies and industry associations — quickly and professionally in projects with social impact, for example in sustainability and compliance.
Alongside strategic and operational logistics, I have extensive experience implementing SAP, Dynamics Axapta, WMS and TMS systems. Translating processes into an effective system set-up is a challenge that energises me.
Within UC Group, my entrepreneurial spirit comes fully into its own. My way of working is fast, sharp, customer-focused and built on collaboration towards optimal supply chains. I thrive most when working on complex supply chain challenges in the EPC, project and heavy-lift industries.
