Sebastian is een visionair, een ondernemer en een strateeg. Hij neemt weloverwogen keuzes en heeft altijd een doel voor ogen. Daarbij stelt hij immer de mens centraal. Een te nemen actie moet altijd goed uitpakken voor hemzelf en de betrokkenen. Onopgemerkt geeft hij leiding aan zijn werknemers, die al lerend zelfsturend worden. Door taken uit handen te geven, ontdekt de werknemer zijn krachten en zelfstandigheid. Iemand voor de leeuwen gooien kan eng zijn, maar levert je heel veel inzichten op. Omdat Sebastian samen met recruiter Arjen Versteeg en mij als accountmanager het wiel voor onze afdeling moest uitvinden, hielpen wij elkaar op weg met veel vallen en opstaan naar een optimale bedrijfsvoering. Mede door zijn financiële pienterheid en positieve blik op de toekomst staat DPA Spanish Professionals/Dentistry nu als een huis. Hij begrijpt precies welke middelen je nodig hebt om een bedrijf op poten te zetten en rendabel te maken en houden. Sebastian zet de strategie uiteen en durft die zeker ook aan te passen als dat noodzakelijk is. Hij is namelijk oplossingsgericht en ziet daardoor altijd een manier om het toekomstbestendige pad te bewandelen. Sebastian en ik werkten op een positieve wijze op het scherpst van de snede samen en daardoor hielden we elkaar in evenwicht. We konden het wel of niet met elkaar eens zijn, een voor ons beiden bevredigende oplossing was zo goed als altijd het resultaat. Ik beveel Sebastian zeker aan als je nieuwe werkgever, strateeg of zakenpartner. Dank voor de vier mooie en constructieve jaren dat wij hebben samengewerkt.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Sebastian at DPA Spanish Professionals, both on a professional as well as a personal level. In my view, Sebastian is best characterized as a charismatic, open and honest person with a strong belief in transparency. Moreover, with his bright mind and optimistic attitude ('always positive!') he brings the energy you'd expect in a young entrepreneur. Sebastian is always motivated to satisfy his stakeholders and as a result often offers a qualitatively distinctive service through flexibility, creativity and hard work. By being open and upfront, Sebastian maintains transparent and honest relationships with stakeholders which have proven to be highly effective and mutually beneficial. As a manager, Sebastian believes in giving people trust, freedom and responsibility in executing their work. His experience enables him to provide valuable advice, feedback and guidance if and where needed. As a result, he makes the people around him grow both professionally as well as personally, whilst never losing the work/life balance out of sight. In the end, sometimes all you need to get fresh insights is some tapas and a cold beer while enjoying a little sunshine ;) ¡Estoy agradecido de haber trabajado contigo! Gracias por todo tio, Lodewijk

      BGB Dentistry is the continuation of a 7-year period at DPA. We focus at guiding the best European dentists to establish themselves as professionals in the Netherlands through our own Dental Dutch program of 5 months (full-time). We are the only language institute in The Netherlands with a guarantee on getting the BIG-registration and a steady job at a good clinic. BGB is the abbreviation of Buena Gente Buena, professionals that besides being good at their job, also like to do good to the world around them. Show less

      What started as one of the four ‘verticals’, together with Engineering, IT and Medical, soon became our leading project. Helping European dentists in every step of the process of becoming a Dutch dentist. From the first contact, through a 4-month course, to the start of a new career in the Netherlands with 3 years of intensive guidance. The complexity and maturity of the project made it possible to form a new label under the DPA flag: DPA Dentistry. We are a full-service agency that tries to be different by not focusing on quantity, but on quality. We don’t have a database with thousands of dentists that may or may not be interested in an international career. Instead, we choose to dedicate ourselves completely to helping only 50 dentists and dental clinics per year. This has resulted in a relatively small, but vibrant community of 150 foreign dentists, all with the same proactive and positive mindset to make a difference in Dutch dentistry. Show less

      As a Business Unit Manager at DPA Spanish Professionals, I am actually working my dream job by combining both my Economics & Business background as well as my passion for the Spanish language.I firmly believe in more extensive labour mobility within Europe, and I hope my efforts will play a significant part in realizing this idea. A specialist in the acquisition of international talent, DPA Professionals offers Dutch employers a unique opportunity to recruit motivated and skilled individuals from other European countries to contribute to the development of their organization. At the same time, we grant these professionals the possibility to work with renowned employers, allowing them to develop their talents in a new and exciting environment. Show less

      At Rusch we repair, inspect and build cranes both on- and offshore. In my role as operations manager I was responsible for all operations at the HQ in The Netherlands. In my interim role, it was my main objective to form great teams, grow our staff and improve our profitability at the same time. At Rusch we repair, inspect and build cranes both on- and offshore.

      At Quantillion we believe data will eventually bring us closer to understanding the core of human beings. What makes us happy? What drives us? And when we talk about us, we talk about every client, customer, employee, boss, everyone. It has become more and more obvious that what every challenge in business eventually comes down to is understanding what you can do to make the lives of your stakeholders better. That’s the core. With the ever growing amount of data, the challenges will be more and more demanding and ask for solutions that require something more than experience. It will not just require hard skills like Hadoop, Spark, Java, Python, Tableau, R, Shiny, and all other tools available now and in the future, it will foremost demand creativity, foresight, analytical excellence, ethics and a high sense of responsibility to shape the future of business, politics and our complete social environment. As a Strategy Consultant and Partner I help both Quantillion as well as our clients with strategic advice on long-term added value. Preferably by using data to support my advice, but sometimes just by following my gut feeling. Quantillion is powered by Euronext-traded DPA Group. Show less

      What started as a voluntary project, ended up being a way to make a living by doing what I love: Speaking Spanish and leading projects to a more than satisfactory end. The two main goals of Gllrmo are still (1) promoting the way of working and living in the Netherlands and (2) creating an image of the Spanish professional, thus bridging the gap between two European countries that have more in common than what is generally known.
