What drives you in your work? What gives you energy?
Keeping the client happy. I gain energy when everything has run smoothly and when a match or event that was initially considered difficult turns out to be a success.
What inspires you in your collaboration with colleagues or clients?
The fact that everyone shares the same goal and that we bring it to a successful conclusion together. Above all, that we are a team working together without a clear distinction between client and supplier.
Which ‘project’ has stayed with you the most? And why?
There are quite a few, but the highlights included the 1998 Champions League final in Amsterdam, which was my first major project. The 2004 Champions League final in Germany, where we handled everything for both FC Porto and AS Monaco, as well as the 2006 World Cup in Germany, also provided great satisfaction. During the latter, we were on the road with the Spanish national team for a month, which created a wonderful bond.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Trying to spend as much time as possible in the snow and spending time with friends and family. I also thoroughly enjoy cycling through Amsterdam.
