Bio
Leo Paas
Ik heb Vincent leren kennen als afstudeerder in de Master in Marketing aan de VU. Ik begeleidde zijn onderzoek en was erg onder de indruk van zijn aanpak. Vincent heeft een efficiënte en snelle manier van werken. Ik denk dat dit een goede eigenschap zal zijn voor een werkgever. Daarnaast gaf de scriptie interessante conclusies, met name voor internationale bedrijven die op de Nederlandse markt opereren. Dit soort bedrijven kunnen zich het beste als internationaal presenteren in plaats van zich aan te passen aan de Nederlandse situatie.

Apr 2009 - Sep 2009
Since utility companies in The Netherlands are split up into an Energy Supplier and Network owner, Stedin Netbeheer needs to work with different engineers. In order to gain information about engineers I did Research on the engineering market. I wrote a report for Stedin about the way engineers are selected by large companies in The Netherlands and the way these companies need to communicate in the most effective way. Furthermore, I investigated the way companies took care of riskmanagement en joint problem solving. I interviewed several companies in The Netherlands to get this information.
