Bio
Wim Van den Heuvel
I would like to recommend Yuri as a valuable resource for your organization. His hands-on and entrepreneurial mindset combined with his eager-to-learn mentality makes that he is up to understand concepts and up to speed quickly. His enthusiasm also empowers the team and makes him valuable for every team. It also enables him to present rather difficult concepts to any type of audience. He took his first step in his professional life and is ready for the next one. He is passionate about both his professional and personal life and wants to get the best out of it. Unfortunately, our collaboration was rather short because he is following his passion in personal life to London. Yuri is a multi-talented individual organizations will be looking for.
Wouter De Roover
I’ve worked with Yuri for a couple of months in Belgium for Alken-Maes (Heineken group). He was able to define a real brand identity for Grimbergen in the Belgian market. During his time at the firm in Belgium, Yuri showed real leadership skills and initiative. It was a real pleasure working with Yuri, who always respected our deadlines and made sure everyone delivered his objectives in time. During our weekly meetings, he often surprised me with his input and ideas to boost sales in the Off-Trade channel. He is very solution oriented and knows what it takes to deliver the best results. In addition to this, Yuri is a very social, empathic & people-minded team player who loves to stimulate the group atmosphere.
