Frits is an ideas man. He is also a highly analytical thinker, an exceptional listener and communicator, a motivated self - starter, an innovative problem solver and a goal driven leader. Frits and I collaborated on a research project for the Project Academy. During which, Frits demonstrated his versatility and value as flexible team player, an energetic contributor and proven relationship builder. I always look forward to working with Frits. His vision, skill set and intellect match my own. Our compatibility creates a synergistic dynamism which always produces high quality results.
