R&D/Engineering Manager at Agrifac

De Hoeve, Friesland, Netherlands

About

An energetic motivator currently leading 45 FTE highly skilled R&D engineers. I get things done with a lot of enthusiasm and humor, even under difficult circumstances. I take on tough challenges with a lot of creativity and problem solving skills. My resistance to stress means that I continue to think clearly and keep putting things into perspective. I find balance in roasting marshmallows with my wife and children or carrying out a major DIY renovation in our old farmhouse.
