Bio
Marjan Burggraaf
I have seen as a person directly involved by ESPBC how Hans led the company ESPBC for 9 years. Full of passion with organizational talent in an other culture: Ethiopia. He is good at growing employees. And to gather the right people around them. He have vision and can share this with the employees. He has made a good combination between business and mission. Hans has a big network for doing business in Ethiopia and the Netherlands . His motto: It's not about what you know, but who you know. He make ESPBC to a good running company and a good place to work with a well done ambiance. Ask it the employees of ESPBC! When you work with Hans, you know that he is correctly and quick in answer mails and finishes things that are going on. I like it that Hans is one of the members of the Advisory Board of Africa Steel Company, so that I can use his knowlegde and experience for the future of EPSBC, our Steelcompany at Ethiopia. The company (and their people) that have a great place in his heart.

It is my pleasure to make a recommendation for Hans. I worked under his supervision as a sales manager in Ethiopian Steel Profiling and Building PLC (ESPBC) for the last 5 years and have nothing but a delight to work with him. Hans’ creativity to keep the balance between functional departments in ESPBC, even in times of conflicts, was incredible. His continuous support and mentoring improved our teamwork and communication skills significantly. He was the model for me to manage my team. His follow-up for the improvement of my leadership was amazing as he provided feedback on due time with compliments and/or comments. Hans’ strong Christianity, his moral integrity and positive thinking made him considerate and kind for others. Also, his understanding on cultural and individual differences make him to a great coach and mentor for the people he is working with. I’m grateful for this coaching and his positive influence on my leadership style and I wish all the best in his future career.
