Bio
Jordi Jongbloed
'Resilient' and 'resourceful' come to mind thinking of Laurens. I hired Laurens mid 2014 as he had just finished his graduate education, to work with me at Phytonext. Being a tech startup, it comes with a dynamic environment with few procedures in place. Above all, I was impressed by Laurens' astute adaptability and autonomy in understanding what the technology and service we're developing needs. Within a matter of months I felt more than comfortable having him do most of the talking during progress meetings with clients, explaining the work carried out but also managing expectations. I believe he's motivated by working on developing novel processes and products. Laurens would be a true asset for any team requiring versatility or resourcefulness.
