Bio
Joanne Jongens
A true sales guy by heart that is what comes to mind if I describe Dirk-Jan, with whom I had the pleasure working with over the last few years at QWIC. He is very dedicated in his role Head of Sales and Marketing and has a ‘work around the clock’ working mentality. In addition, I really enjoyed his positive energy and fun jokes which helped in creating a great spirit in the office. Would definitely recommend working with him.

I worked with Dirk almost 4 years in the marketing department of QWIC E-Bikes. He saw and helped me grow within the company, encouraging me on the way over all those years. I reported directly to him, it has always felt like a friendship and working & progressing together rather than reporting. One of his best skills is to guide the team into the same direction without loosing anyone on the way and giving everyone space for developing their own ideas and skills. Work hard, play hard - a typical Dutch saying applies to working with Dirk. Thanks for all the fun and learnings! I am looking forward to come for a visit in the near future! :)
