My employment in Amsterdam started with the announcement that the entire C-suite management team would be migrating to the Netherlands. Together with their families I was one of their points of contact for anything related to working and living in the Netherlands. At the same time my aim was to support in getting an office ready. After only 8 challenging and dynamic months we are ready and working in the city centre inside a beautifull 1400m2 office.
