Bio
Marie José Van Den Boomgaard
Ik heb met Daan samengewerkt, toen hij stagair was in mijn team, maar ook in de periode erna toen hij Innovation Scout was voor KPN. Ik heb Daan leren kennen als een eagere betrouwbare en zeer professionele collega, die erg nieuwsgierig is en zorgt dat hij de materie waar hij op werkt, snel kundig is. Zo heeft hij oa expertise opgebouwd op thema's als Connected Cars en Drones. Daan weet de markt snel te doorgronden en ziet de juiste opportunities, die hij weet om te zetten in resultaat. Daarnaast is het een heel prettig mens om mee te werken, door zijn positieve instelling. Ik raad Daan dan ook van harte aan op het gebied van innovatie en startups.
Sander Baraké, MBA MSc
A great personality with all the required hard and soft skills to be successful and to add real value immediately. That is my one sentence description of Daan. I recruited Daan for my team as Innovation Consultant. Daan has the unique combination of a strategic thinker and innovative actor. He has the ability to create a vision and strategy based on market insights and convert these into a clear plan and implementation. Daan gets things done, not only by himself but also through great team play.
