I can strongly recommend Jolien as a very industrious and pro-active colleague. She is very good at communicating client requirements to factories in concise reports backed up with clear drawings. As well as her very good english and native dutch, she has made a good effort to learn Danish and use it. Her positive 'can-do' attitude makes her very easy to work with.

      As purchaser and product developer for the design brand Mater I was responsible for managing their supply chain in Europe and Asia and the development of new products. I managed all procurement activities with their supplier base and was responsible for evaluating and selecting new suppliers, this included price negotiation, contracts, planning and quality control. Besides that I managed the workflow of Mater’s design team and worked closely together with the sales, marketing and customer departments. While Mater has an ethical business strategy, my focus lay on sustainable supply chain management, meaning e.g. certified materials and working with suppliers with high starndards in regards to working conditions. - Placing orders - Production Planning - Price negotiation - Sourcing and setting up new supplier collaborations - Product Development - Supplier visits - Quality Control - Packaging and Labeling - Managing parts of logistics Show less
