About

What others say about me: Koen is a loyal, relaxed and informal guy who believes that transparency and connecting parties is vital. He is goal oriented and achieves his goal best with a team in which he can both act as team leader or team member. He loves a challenge and works optimally if he is knowledgeable of business and achieves the best results with others. He is a number-cruncher with excellent analytic skills which enable clear and concise insights into underlying structures and connections. In addition, he is a driven, but involved negotiator with the ultimate goal of establishing a partnership. I fully agree.
