Bio
Ad De Hond
I had the pleasure to work with Wouter for 7 years at Starbucks Emea in Amsterdam. Wouter is a very talented and organised Design Manager. He started as Project Designer and because of his fast learning curve and great achievements he was promoted to Design Manager. Wouter has a pragmatic and creative approach to many, sometimes complex, store design projects. He is culturally aware and eager to adapt to different situations. Besides that, he has a very good sense of humour, he is a team player and he is respectful in the way he approaches both internal as well as external stakeholders. I wish him all the best in his future career !
