Bio
Elisa Eggert
At the A&O Hostel in Amsterdam, I experienced Sven impressively managing a large hospitality business efficiently while at the same time taking into consideration the well-being of his employees. Even when not on site, he is always available for and looks after his staff. He is able to maintain a great balance of leadership and approachability, providing a casual yet professional work environment. I recommend Sven to anyone who is looking to improve efficiency while creating a pleasant workplace for employees.

I had the pleasure to have Sven as a Manager in A&O Amsterdam for almost a year. During that time I was working in F&B department and a bit later on as a front office receptionist. In both positions Sven was always there for me by providing efficient coaching but most important essential mentoring. He is the person that will give responsibilities to his staff and in the same time a lot of room for development, personal and professional. He is a manager who deeply cares about the business but most of all of its people. One thing I remember clearly from Sven was his ability to talk to people. Even with the toughest guests or no matter how tense a meeting was, Sven made sure everyone left with a smile. As a Team leader and Manager, Sven earns my highest recommendation.

"SLVS staat voor toeristenheffing met een doel!" In 2002 hebben de ca. 12 logies verstrekkers in Soest een convenant met de gemeente Soest afgesloten om 'vrijwillig' jaarlijks een bedrag af te dragen. De SLVS mag voorstellen tot besteding (denk aan verbetering toeristische infrastructuur, bijdrage aan gedegen beleid etc.) inbrengen bij de gemeente. Inmiddels is het 3de convenant van 4 jaar afgesloten naar volle tevredenheid van beide partijen. Een redelijk unieke aanpak om de waanzin van toeristenbelasting een halt toe te roepen.
