Bio
Jenthe van Gastel
I had the pleasure to report to and collaborate with Niels during my international career at Faktion. To me Niels was always sharp: very responsive to clients and colleagues, giving valuable and constructive input during discussions and brainstorms, daring to challenge the status quo and motivated to go the extra mile. Next to that, he embodies the data-driven culture of Faktion in his sales & marketing activities; continuously measuring & monitoring sales metrics and making sure our sales data was clean and well-structured in our CRM. Niels is a punctual, approachable and very attentive sales manager on whom you can count. Finally, Niels can lighten up everyone's day with his humor and food "diets". In short, I can highly recommend Niels as Sales/Commercial Manager or Director. Thanks Niels for all the support, and all the best in your future endeavors!
