I worked together with Marcel during our period at the Glencore Cotton division. While I was based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Marcel in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. Thanks to Marcel's expertise, experience and great network in West and Central-Africa (which I experienced as very challenging markets) we were able to get our cotton shipped out of Africa with great efficiency while maintaining good commercial relationships with several important suppliers and other stakeholders in the supply chain. I would describe Marcel as a hardworking, professional and trustworthy colleague and partner.
