Bio
Andreas Zillig
I worked with Jeroen for 2 ½ years. During this time we commercialized two of our largest new customers in Oil & Gas Segment and I could learn a lot from his most important leadership skills to manage a complex team across the organization. Managing the whole project in process from raw materials, manufacturing and supply chain in a completely new environment. He always at the same time encourages and challenges his team. His leadership capabilities were highly valued internally and externally from customers in regular instated supply review meetings. He fosters development, creativity and innovation as the corner stones of a successful business. I experienced Jeroen as a very dedicated person with an expressed entrepreneurial mindset. He was constantly looking for business optimization and driving commercialization of new products and ideas. Jeroen always communicates openly and directly which I also enjoyed personally.

Jeroen is a very authentic, open and pleasant person to work with that establishes a relationship based on trust and respect immediately. He convinces people and reaches goals by working together and making sure that these goals are shared and a common vision exists. I very much enjoyed working with him during my time at Philips Special Lighting and appreciated his thorough knowledge of external markets and customer needs as well as his ability to build on the strenghts of internal stakeholders.
