Toby March
Servaas & I recently worked together on the SPG_Design hotels integration effort. Servaas was strategic in approach, results orientated, had a great mindset and was always a quick study on complex initiatives & projects. Integration goals were exceeded against a background of ever-changing circumstances. Not least Servaas was a good and reliable leader & always great fun to work with in and out of the office - an asset to any ambitious business

Servaas is one of those people that stood out from the minute he arrived in Starwood (and not only because of his height!). His calm, sensible, logical approach to any situation (I have never seen him stressed in all the years he's been here) makes him always a pleasure to work with, not to mention the fact that he is overall, a highly intelligent individual. All in all, Servaas was one of those candidates who came in as a Trainee and Starwood didn't want to let go of. His potential was immediatly obvious. He will be missed but I am confident whatever he does next, he will do with as much passion and determination and hence, will be successful.

I had the pleasure working with Servaas during the past five years in the areas of Operational Innovation and Owners Relation & Portfolio Management at Starwood’s Divisional Office. Servaas always impressed with his innovative approach towards the various business challenges on hand. A fast pace learner and strategic thinker, with the ability to focus as well on the critical detail. I very much appreciated his positive attitude and willingness to assist, specifically supporting me in setting up the New Builds & Transitions department.
