Bio
Rien Laverge
It was a pleasure working with Jan Jaap because he has some unique qualities that I appreciated a lot: he doesn't mind being a pioneer, he'll open doors & create opportunities and bring back the information that you need as an executive to take a funded decision. Furthermore he's eager, he listens to advice and is continuously looking on how to improve on what he is working. Motivation and drive comes natural to Jan Jaap because his glass is definetly always half full rather than half empty. Bottomline a great guy with a great sense of humor and lot's of drive = a perfect business development manager.
