Jos Nyns
Had the pleasure to have Björn as a HR business partner for the Finance & procurement dept. Björn has been very instrumental in improving the quality of the team as well as supporting the transformation to a more business oriented dept. He has a no nonsense apprach is disciplined and takes a genuine interest in the people he is working with. In addition he is fun to work with. Wish him all the best in his carreer.
Sander Beijderwellen
For nearly 3 years I had the pleasure of working closely together with Björn Boek at Q8. Björn can be best described as a highly motivated, intelligent, flexible, dedicated and committed HR professional with a great sense of humour. He knows very well what is going on in the organization, cares for and is very interested in the people/staff, can be firm and make/support tough decisions when the situation asks for it and deals well with the different cultures within the company. Due to Bjֲörn’s pro-active and no-nonsense approach, he has been an excellent help for my department and myself and a lot of fun to work with. Without any doubt, I strongly recommend Björn in any senior, professional and/or managerial HR role in an international/multi-national environment, where he will be at his best. Although I fully understand his decision to leave Q8 after 3 years, ready for a new challenge, I will miss my well-respected and esteemed colleague, sparring partner and Q8 family member & friend.
