About

Being an influencer with a customer first attitude, I enjoy new challenges that naturally come with business transformation. By embracing change, it gave me the opportunity to learn, manage and direct technology change across various Toyota divisions from R&D to Manufacturing, from Sales to After Sales. I am a self-motivated, persistent and positive thinker with excellent communication skills. I foster teamwork and collaboration, learn from failures and celebrate successes. I enjoy working on international level, calm under pressure, full of energy and a desire to make work fun. Enjoy your day! Dirk
